Esther HankoI took a picture of #jupiter this morning and I think it's my best one yet! The conditions were the best I've ever seen in my backyard in #purmerend, the Netherlands. Gear: Skywatcher Skymax 180 and ZWO asi 224MC-s. #astrodon #astrophotography
posiputt ÖvÖ@estherhanko very cool! How many frames are stacked here? I have no practical experience with astrophotography beyond the moon, so I'm not sure this question even makes sense :D
@posiputt It makes a lot of sense! For planetaruy astrophotography you take videos with the shortest possible exposure times (and as many frames as possible) and get software to combine the sharpest frames into one. You then sharpen that one frame. I did that 14 times and then used some other software to combine those stacks into one. I'm too lazy to check exactly but each of those 14 stacks was 25% of about 15k frames.
