- I have had a lot of request to do a planetary stacking and processing video so here it is guys. I forgot to mention in the video That I chose to stack 75% of frames because the seeing conditions was great that night.If you don't have great seeing conditions then you want to stack less frames. I am using AutoStakkert3 and RegiStax6. Here are the links to these www.autostakkert.com/wp/downl...

Nice final result!
Thank you so much Chuck
Hey chuck
Im late but its cool to see u here
Hi chuck
yo chuck
Can't recall the last time I learned so much in such a short time...Thanks
You are welcome
Love how you showed just the important bits and kept it short. Too many people like to waffle on needlessly. Used it on Jupiter tonight and am happy with the result.
Thank you James
I second this. There are several other 30 minute videos that are needlessly confusing. Once I clicked on this video, the like to dislike ratio of 334 to zero told me I found a winner haha
What's missing from my perspective is a few words on what is important for recording the mp4 file... Do you just make a standard recording? Do you manually set iso, focus and exposure time for the recording? Is it done with DSLR? Without IR filter? Would be cool if someone can help me on these topics
Best tutorial I've ever seen in the field of astronomy; no useless blabla, clear, short, understandable, awesome man
Thank you
Hi Jim. Thanks for taking the time and putting in the effort to making this video. I followed your excellent tutorial last night with a short movie of the crescent Venus that I took with my cell phone through my old 8" Meade SCT. The results were pretty good! Thanks for recommending AutoStakkert and Registax. I had to use PIPP to convert my cell phone video to the raw AVI file that AutoStakkert allows, and that also worked great. Now I need some clear skies. Upstate NY on the shore of Lake Ontario is not an ideal location.
Your voice was calm and everything you said was easy to understand. Nicely done!
Thank you
I agree with Ray Astrophotography, you really have a well modulated speaking voice, not to mention the great job you did with the tutorial. Gee, Carolina, I guess some people just have it all!...and you are willing to share it...nice.
Thank you Ata
Thanks a lot for this! I was missing a few minor steps and now I am getting awesome results of Saturn and Jupiter shot with a Celestron C6 and a ZWO178MC. I am learning there is a bit of luck involved in capturing decent frames too.
You are welcome. Capturing decent frames mostly depends on seeing conditions so if you have poor seeing conditions then you want to stack less frames
You are a life saver bruh was looking for one video how to process image from video and u did it all. Gonna follow u for more. Thanks a lot ❤️
You are welcome
Nicely done. No noticeable background noise in the audio, the mouse pointer was clearly visible, and you moved at a good pace.
Thank you sir
This is the best tutorial I have seen for proessing Jupiter images.
Thank you
*The way he says “Jupiter” gets me every time xD.*
*EDIT: That image came out absolutely incredible!*
Thank you
Thankyou so much for this!! It's helped me capture a classic last night 😍
You are welcome
Thanks for the video. I just recently upgraded my asi 120mm-s to the Asi 462 mc. Didn't know about the color balance in Registax6. That should help me. As soon as these clouds get out of here. Opposition is coming!
Nice, simple and straight to the point, thanks!
Thanks so much. I really appreciate you posting this for us. Tonight at around 8:30 PM CST Io starts it's transition across our Jovian friend. I hope my batteries last for the three our transit of Io and it's shadow.
You are welcome and I hope you het some great shots
Excellent tute, see some interesting differences in how you do it, will be trying this out. Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍
Thank you The Urban Astronomer
Yes! Been waiting on this one from you! Looking forward to trying this out!
Thank you Amateur Astronomy & Stormchasing and I hope you get some great results
Good to hear your voice Jim. love from a random dude from India staring at the space above us...
Thank you
Thank you! Best explanation I have seen.
Thank you Amy
Spot on what I was looking for! Thank you
You are welcome
I’m really surprised you stacked 75% of frames, given the quality graph you had. I would probably have gone with 25%. Still, you managed to end up with a nice result. Thank you !
Thank you
Very nice presentation. I appreciate your video.
Excellent guide, thanks!
Out of this world! Nice job.
Thank you Annes
This helped me so much. Thank you!!!
I have found the holy grail! Simple Clear Concise.
Thank you. I am happy you liked this Rob
Wow, this instructional video kicks ass!
This is so beautiful my friend! I've looked at Jupiter many times with my telescope but never recorded anything or made still photos. Nice work. Have a blessed week. 😃👍🙏
Thank you so much Soldier Poet
crazy noise reduction.
beautiful end result! wow
Thank you
That was quick and effective
I just did one your way turned out the best of theist I did
Thank you
That’s an awesome image of Jupiter
Thanks John
Brilliant tutorial 👍🏼
Thank you
Brilliant video that. Very clear, thanks for making it
Thank you for watching
Wow... great stuff as always!
Thank you Marko
Nice! Next up on my list is a scope. Thanks for taking the time to show how you achieve your captures!

Thanks 😄
Curious, are you on twitter?
@@mcmilx3 I am not on twitter but I do have a facebook page. facebook.com/Carolina-Sky-Astronomy-2060021824307951/?modal=admin_todo_tour
Great info, thank you, as another said learnt so much in a short time 👍🏼😊
You are welcome and thank you
You have a beautiful voice, I wonder why you don't do this kind of stuff more often Jim! Good work!
Thanks Ray. Most of my videos I just want to show my views but I have had a lot of request to do a video on how I get the results that I get so I decided it was time to do this video
Very cool!! It’s so clear!💜
Really nice tutorial!
Thank you
Thanks for sharing this.
You are welcome and thank you for watching
Thank you! Simple instructions that worked for me!
You are welcome
Hi Jim great video many thanks
Thank you Andy and you are welcome my friend
You're like the Obi-Wan Kenobi of astronomy. Great work
Thanks Sparc
This is black magic.
Thank you very much !!!
Thank you
Hey man came out really nice thanks 4 sharing
Thank you so much Justin
Beautiful job 👋🤩💖
Thank you so much
Nice little tute. I'm familiar with the software (looked it up long ago when you mentioned it) but have never used it or seen it in action.
Thanks Doc
Great video. Thanks
Thank you
Magnificent ,,,, Have a nice weekend , Tom
Thank you and hope you have a great weekend too
Finally a guy who doesnt yap for no reason. Thats a subscriber addrd
Amazing. Thank you.
Wow that's Sooo AWESOME!! 🤗💕👊
Thank you Cass
Nice video! I am also in SE NC. I am trying to figure out stacking mono planetary images.
Wow amazing result. thank you
Thank you
Thanks for doing this video. Now Jupiter looks like a marble lol.....thats awesome!
LOL It does look like a marble
@@CarolinaSkyAstronomy I will never see Jupiter the same again lol :D
Wow that is awesome
Thank you Arthur
Excellent!
I want to try this. So glad you didn't say lightroom. I don't pay for that, got to have something free.
Amazing
a question what equipment did you use to take the photo of Jupiter because I also took a photo with the big red macha but I wanted to know what camera you used in my case it was a nikonD5100 reflex and the telescope a heritage 130p and high azimuth mount sky watcher GTi for that reason
unbelievable beautiful
Thank you sir
Beautiful!👍
Thank you TC
Beautiful!
Thank you
Wow this is very cool.
Thank you
What telescope are you using and is the camera mounted to a Barlow lens? It look so much better than anything my 6 inch dobs can come close too. Great video thanks a lot!
awesome I can't wait to get my first scope and ccd camera and take this to the next level for now my binoculars and my point and shoot digital camera will do
If you ever have any questions or need any help I am always here to help. Looking forward to seeing your video's
@@CarolinaSkyAstronomy
awesome I appreciate that
But the first step should be turning the bright white disc to the image of the planet with some visible details. Which of those settings play the important role in it? I played with all of my available settings, but still got a white disc with no details. :( But could see Jupiter's moons quite well though (can't see them on your pic).
Wow I'm amazed
Any recommendations how I can start to do planetary processing on an imac ? I have jupiter footage on my cannon sl1 with an untracked dob
Thank you very much. Nice vidéo.
Thank you
Just getting into astrophotography, so I will def be back. I like your choice in music - what is playing?
Thank you. I do my own music for some of my videos. I do different styles like this one is an Ambient style and I do rock and blues
That is so cool Crazy
Thank you ghost catcger
wonderfull video. which telescope you used to image jupitor. diameter of objective lens and magification ?
Thank you. I used 5 inch Maksutov-Cassegrain f/12 telescope with a 2x barlow lens which put it at f/24
Omg thank you so much !!! Im new on this 😢
Yes I can finally see more than a faint blob!
Good job sir..
Thank you Astro Dude
Since the juliter orbit is aprx 10 hours, is it possible to take a few photos every cycle (while it's night on earth) and stack them? Guessing since the earth and jupiter rotation would have to match this would only happen from the same location on earth aprx every 10 days - 240 hours (assuming 10hr and 24hr orbits for example). And not sure how much the weather on Jupiter affects how it looks over that long 🤔
Amazing! Can I get results like this if I do not have a tracking mount (track by hand)?
Yes you can.
Did you use the colour version of the ASI120MC-S, also how can you tell when Jupiter's great red spot is visible?, Ide like to make sure when I stack and process the image that I see the great red spot. Also I'm struggling with the zoom feature of this program, did you use the zoom feture for the output video, if so, how did you get it to work, or did you use high magnifications? (sorry for being so specific)
Intresting bro 😊👌👌
If you want to get great images of space then have to learn to do the same thing that NASA does and that is stack images
@@CarolinaSkyAstronomy sure bro i can do it 😊😊😊💐💐
Excellent, excellent, thank you. Do you just do videos and take the images from the videos or do you also take pictures with exposures of several seconds or more? And you don't use any RGB filtering because your camera already has those filters? Deep Sky Stacker and AutoStakkert basically do the same thing don't they? Sorry for so many questions, I just want to get started and have a little success with it.
For planets you just shoot video and stack the video frames in AutoStakkert . For deep sky objects like nebulas you want to shoot single frame long exposures and stack in DeepSkyStakker with dark frames. The camera I am using is a color camera so I dont need to use RGB filter because the camera is shooting in color. If you have anymore questions I am always here to help
Great video! I'm over in SW NC. Can you not do all the stacking in Registrax? Or are you going to autostakker to make it easier? Thx Much
Thank you. Yes you can do all the stacking in RegiStax but AutoStakkert is faster at stacking
Nice result! what scope and barlow did you used?
wow! that was easy, I thought it'd have been a lot harder and more work to process the image.
Great Mr.Jim !
Shall I use footages from crop sensor DSLR+300mm lens (without tracker) to get these kind of images. ?
Please clarify my doubts.
I have seen photos of Jupiter from a P900 or P1000 without a tracker that are decent but you are not going to get the same view that I get with an f 12 telescope and 2x barlow that puts it at f 24. So you will be getting a lot smaller view than what I am getting but you can still use this stacking and processing that I do but I would go a lot lighter on the wavelets in RegiStax
@@CarolinaSkyAstronomy Oh.. Ok.. Thanks a lot Mr.Jim 😊
Hi! Thanks for this amazing video! Does this work if you don't have a tracking mount? Does the software align the video frames for stacking?
Thanks!
Jtb
I ve had a video through my manual 8 inhc dob and it kind of centered it in the mid
Hi, my live video capture of Jupiter is almost like yours; I followed exact same process with Autostacker and using Registax 6, but when I try to sharpen the image as you slide the bard all the way, my image gets grainy. I pretty much can't sharpen using slider no more the 1/4. Did you take your images in high elevation with no light pollution? I'm taking mine in front of my house in the city; however, I have a Luminance IR CUT filter on my camera.
It really depends on the scope you are using. I am using a 127 Mak scope with a 2 x barlow lens, The 127 Mak scope is a f/12 scope and with the 2x barlow puts at a f/24. The higher the F ratio the better image you will get
What telescope, f-ratio were you using? I am trying with a EdgeHD 11 with a TeleVue 2X Powermate. I have checked collimation and ensured focus. ASI224MC camera. My images just don't come out anywhere near as sharp. Thanks
I am using a Celestron 127 mm Maksutov-Cassegrain f/12 scope
Was this done on an equatorial mount or an altaz mount? Do you think picture quality after stacking would be noticibly different when comparing quality of image from both mounts?
This was with a altaz mount and I don't think it would be any difference with an EQ mount
Please help. I've got a canon 550d and the T ring so that I can connect it to my telescope. However, when I try to collect video, the camera tells me that I need to add a lens to use the video function. I'm guessing that this is because the T ring does not have the electronic bits that tell the camera what's going on. How do I get around this so that I can take video? Thanks.
I don't know much about Canon cameras but if you are on facebook there is a group you can join called Astrophotography for Beginners. I know a lot of people on there that use Canon camera. here is a link to the group. facebook.com/groups/775235275932996
Really awesome. Makes me want to buy a nicer telescope
Thank you risraelsen, if you ever have any questions I am here to help you anyway that I can
Can I also get that quality with a Celestron 130slt?
Can I take a visible photo of Jupiter or Saturn with a 300mm lense and then stack and process it??
Beautiful work
I’d like to know what camera did you use for shooting ?
How are you meant to download this software, I am having difficulties?
Subbed!
Thank you
very interesting thanks
Thanks for stopping by my channel and now you know my trick to getting beautiful images of the planets
Would the process of all of this still work if jupiter was overexposed in the video?
Is this possible with at alt az mount?
Hello, I bought celestron 127SLT telescope. Your videos are very informative. It would be great if you make a video on how to capture images from telescope. I can see the planets but not able to capture pictures with phone. Which camera do you use and how you capture and process the images? Please make a video on that. Thanks!
I am using a ZWO asi120mc-s camera. It is a dedicated astro camera that fits into the slot where you would put an eyepiece. So with this camera you are not using an eyepiece but just a camera with a usb cable to your laptop and you get a live view on your laptop using a capture software called SharpCap
Carolina Sky Astronomy Thank you so much for the reply 😊
