Planetary 101: WinJupos & Photoshop

The final entry in the Planetary 101 series showcases WinJupos. Follow along as we tackle this software that derotates your planetary data and also finalize our images in Registax and Photoshop.
I hope y'all have enjoyed this series as much as I have enjoyed the learning curve of content creating. There are many more videos and tutorials in the works so stay tuned!
Clear skies!

Awesome Matt. I keep coming back to this video

[@stevesolon6710]

This is fantastic - well-explained and easily understood. I'm primarily a DS imager, but planetary has always been a challenge, so this is great - many thanks. - - Steve

excellent video straight to the point, easy steps. Thank you so much

Discovered your channel in looking for how to properly use the ZWO ADC and stayed for several of your other videos. I have been doing planetary capture for a few years now but definitely got a few tidbits out of each video that I watched. Especially enjoyed your take on "why bother" to do this if someone else can take a better image - spot on in terms of competing against yourself and taking satisfaction in what you can accomplish. Indeed, what we can do compared to when I started this hobby 50 years ago blows my mind :-) Thanks for putting these together for our amateur astronomy community!

Exceptional presention. Just learning about Winjupos.

[@GarnettLeary]

Cool final thoughts. Great video.

[@ecsdastro8236]

This was so helpful. Thanks!!

[@alexandrusimandi1699]

I love your videos.

[@astrophotons5594]

Thanks for the Tutorial

[@gwzapo]

Great comments about us carrying on their legacy! Now we can tell our spouses this to account for the time spent imaging and processing...lol. But seriously, thank you for your videos. You rock!!!

[@cex7355]

Thank you so much !!

[@edwallace523]

This was very helpful up to a point, but... I use a mono camera, and you explained how to combine rgb images so quickly I couldn't follow it. I tried over and over with no luck.

[@cex7355]

You can right click and it says center image and outline or something it will center the pic and outline

[@astrorooftop4617]

Very nice tutorial, thanks. Now I can take more minutes of data and combine in winjupos.

[@craiglowery4427]

Loved this video. My recommendation for the future is to show us how to display the moons for Jupiter and Saturn

[@zekeavila]

Awesome presentation and skills! Keep up the great work brother. 👍🏼

[@InsertAstroNameHere]

Zeke Avila Thanks brother. Wanna come over to shoot a video one day?

[@zekeavila]

InsertAstroNameHere absolutely! 👍🏼

Hi Jeremiah. Question : If you have, say, 6 images in one particular night, what time do you enter in the program? Do you enter the mid exposure time of the middle video of the series? Not sure. - - Steve

[@blaschii]

Thank you so much for this video! I have a quick question. My images with a 9.25" SCT don´t come out of Autostakkert looking as clear as yours and the details/edges needed for the alignment only become sharp enough as soon as I process the image in Registaxx. So can I just process them in Registaxx first and then import into WinJupos or am I doing something wrong at this point? haha.

[@explosivebrickstudios2693]

Awesome video, which scope did you use to capture the data for the video?

[@joekritz8227]

Do you use Registax to sharpen images first before Winjupos?

[@markm75]

Great video, but one thing: when you were doing "measure distance", i dont think thats quite what you meant? I think its just F11 to auto adjust each loaded image or under "Adj" "Outline frame" "automatic detection", then save the ims (f2) on each frame? Double checking maybe i misunderstood; Also, is the latitude and longitude (geographical location in the settings) important as well, some folks seem to show that set and others dont.

[@InsertAstroNameHere]

You are 100% right. That is an unneeded step and I have been meaning to do an updated video on WinJupos as a whole because people can’t grasp the concept. As for the lat/lon, I have tried setting and saving my location and for some reason it doesn’t accept it. The time is the most important setting I believe, especially when moons are involved. I noticed that a few weeks ago with the IO transit and the culprit was my computer was 3 minutes slow 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@markm75]

@@InsertAstroNameHere cool ok I was just checking yea the save geo thing isn't working for me either, in fact it seems to change each image I load. I'm having an issue just stacking 4 images in winjupos right now (no issues in past) the final image is a blur basically, maybe my clock was off too, need to check

[@cex7355]

Ive seen people take images better than hubble with a 12 inch

[@astrorooftop4617]

Omg, I need to skill up. 12 inch is the only one I have.
