When a member of The Imaging Source family reads a nice article in the Newsletter, a magazine, or the blog, I often receive responses from other members of our tribe that reads about like this…

Hello Profjohn,

I saw the Jupiter animation in your newsletter an thought you might be interested in one I made a few nights ago. I used a DMK 21AU04.AS camera and C8 at F/10. I captured 62 sequences of about 200 frames each at one minute intervals. I then processed each video in RegiStax. The resulting JPEGs were then aligned in Photoshop.

The aligned images were made into a movie using PhotoLapse software. Finally, I imported the movie into Windows Movie Maker to add titles and credits. It took quite a bit of time for a 4 second movie, but I really like it.

Once again, thanks for an excellent product.

Matt Watson has just submitted a great little image of Jupiter, which he captured with a DMK 21AF04:

About the image, he writes:

It’s been a few weeks since the seeing in Brisbane has delivered anything reasonable, but conditions looked favourable tonight, so I decided to set up. I’m happy with the detail, particularly on Ganymede at lower left. It just goes to show what the 21AF04 is capable of, even in average seeing. The shadow on Jupiter’s surface is Ganymede’s, while Io is at the upper right of the image. These images captured around 8.42pm (GMT +10) with the C9.25 and 3x Televue barlow. DMK 21AF04, processed in Registax 4.

Thanks, Matt, for the contribution! Keep up the good work.
