All AutoStakkert is going to do is average out the compression artifacts, not really any planetary details.
You need raw, uncompressed data to eek out details in bad seeing.Ī longer video capture won't help that much, due to compression. Not sure what latitude you live at, but unless Jupiter gets higher in the sky for you, you will need an ADC (atmospheric dispersion corrector) regardless of whether you upgrade your camera or not.Ī dedicated planetary camera is kind of a must unless the seeing is absolutely excellent and the planet is high in the sky. I can tell this video was captured when Jupiter was very, very low on the horizon.
There is also considerable atmospheric dispersion, which is indicated by the strong red and blue fringes on either side of the planet. That pixelation is due to the video compression done by the iPhone during capture, and it basically makes it impossible to really bring out any details in the planet through processing. avi and cropping in PIPP with no other processing done: This is what a single still frame looks like after converting the. There just isn't enough data to work with, unfortunately. WorldWide Telescope by Microsoft Research.NET Foundation,American Astronomical Society STARMAD Windows Starry Night by Simulation Curriculum Corp. This many frames, uncompressed, should have been more like 8GB. You've captured about 3300 frames at 4K resolution, and it was only 8MB in size. Unfortunately, this data is not really processable.
