Hi Mark;

I re-balanced your jpeg image in Astro IIDC image processing module. Hopefully this will get through and be posted.

To my eyes and LCD monitor settings , your image had way too much red in it. When capturing movies, you likely need to reduce the red slider by about 20% to 30% and increase the Blue slider by about 10% to 20%.

Also was jupiter fairly low (30 degrees or less) above the horizon because it looks like there was some atmospheric dispersion? I offset the red / blue layers to compensate, as the atmosphere acts like a prism and causes the R G B colors to be offset from each other at low altitudes.

Hope That Helps..
