Hi folks;

Last night I had clear skies and reasonable turbulence - the first

time in about 2 or 3 weeks, so I was testing out Astro IIDC 2.0 with

the Point grey Research color camera on Luna and Jupiter. I did all

the capture in 16 bit mode at 30 fps, so it's capturing 17.6 megabytes

per second and I grabbed a little over 18 gigabytes of video on the

laptop.

I batch stacked and aligned the movies in Astro IIDC last night (while

I slept) and got a few good images - one of which I posted in the

Plnetary folder as Jupiter_050419_MJA.jpg which has ganymedes shadow

and the GSR. None of them are up to Alan's saturn shot standard - but

for a 5.1" MAK scope sitting on a 10th story balcony and the close

proximity of the JetsStream (we had a double loop of it last night), I

think it came out pretty good.

I'll be posting details on what's new in Version 2.0 of Astro IIDC and

hopefully seeding the beta out in the next few weeks.

TTYL..
