| The Jupiter opposition of 2004. Photographs were taken with a 3com HomeConnect webcam (at medium resolution) at the prime focus of my f/15 7" LX-50 Meade Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope. All photos are at f/15 and stacked using Registax 2.0. Wavelets were used to increase the sharpness. The files so created were then further processed with Corel Photopaint 9 using the unsharp mask, tone curve, hue, guassian blur and contrast. All of these are eyeballed for best iamge. |

| All photos are with south pole up. The seeing was bad this evening; but, this was the first time that I used auto color balance on the camera. So, the colors look more natural to me even though the image is clearly not as sharp as my other ones. | |
