Red: ir-pass filter > 742nm
Green: red + blue
Blue: W47 + BG39
maximum altitude: 23 degrees
Also taken with the DMK21 camera and a Baader Ir-pass filter. The animation shows Jupiter spinning from 01:22 UTC until 03:33 UTC June 29th 2009.
I stacked about 1300 frames for each image in this animation. The frames were aquired in about 70 seconds times each.
In total over 50.000 images were used in the animation (selected from over 100.000 frames!)
Another image of Jupiter shot with the DMK21 camera.
Altitude of Jupiter was little under 24 degrees. Next year it will get to about 31 degrees at my location!
More info will follow
Another false color image of Jupiter, and again, my best so far. I used three filters to get to this final image;
Infrared (Baader ir-pass) and 50% of Orange was used for Red
Orange (W21 + block) and 30% of Deep blue was used for Green
Deep blue (W47 + block) was used for Blue
This image was shot using my new DMK21AU04 camera (I still have to add it to my equipment list on this website). The red dot is Europa; the black dot is it\'s shadow on Jupiter.
Jupiter was at 22 degrees altitude when I made this image.
More details will follow.
My best image of Jupiter so far.
I wanted to create a color image using only my b/w Toucam Pro II webcam, but since I don't have any R, G and B filters, I had to improvise a bit.
Infared (> 742nm) was used for the red channel, a Wratten 21 orange filter was used for the green channel, and my Wratten 47 deep blue filter was used for the blue channel. The colors are a bit off (mostly because of the green filter), but at least there are colors visible!
This image is resized to 166% of the original recorded size. Jupiter was at little over 19 degrees altitude.
My first image of Jupiter this year. I had to stay up for a long time to be able to spot Jupiter, and even then it was only a little over 13 degrees altitude.
In a few months I should be able to get some pictures of Jupiter at 20 degrees altitude, hopefully that will bring out some more detail.
The image is an Ir-RGB combination. Infrared images were taken with a baader Ir-pass filter combined with a baader uv/ir-block filter and the Toucam Pro II 840k b/w webcam. The combination of filters acts as a single deep-red narrow-band filter. I was hoping this technique would allow me to fight the seeing better.
The color information was taken from the spc900nc webcam and an uv/ir-cut filter.
From left to right: Jupiter, Ganymede and Io.
L: 500 frames (840k) and 742nm Ir-pass filter
RGB: 300 frames (900nc) and UV/IR-block filter
Jupiter did not get very high at my location this year. The maximum altitude was 14 degrees above the horizon.
An animated gif of about 36 video's all processed in Registax. The images were shot between 19:30 and 21:08 (UTC).
Io is moving towards Jupiter (from right to left) and Ganymede is showing itself very briefly behind Jupiter before it enters Jupiter's shadow and disappears again!
