Jupiter ~7:40PM. Black spot under the band not caused by CCD (in multiple images, each with a different area of CCD used), but by image processing? - can also be seen in single unprocessed frames though, so not sure what the reason is...





Jupiter ~11:30PM

20101015 ~6:50PM, the moon through the clouds







No luck with Jupiter or Saturn in the early morning: too cloudy.

Reprocessing of one of the 20101011 Jupiter picture, with drizzling method to double the resolution, and less aggressive on the wavelets. Less detailed image but more natural colors.

Today's pictures:

1) The Moon, ~6PM














2) Albireo, binary star

Single frame with Webcam, no post-processing. Taken ~9PM



3) Jupiter

No barlow, composite of 2 images, one focusing on the planet, the other on the moons. Denoising done manually, so not pretty.
