This image was taken as a series of exposures at the end of a night of deep sky photography of Cetus galaxies. The seeing was only average at 2.2 arcsec FMHW, however a hundred images in rapid succession were pared down to the ten best for processing. I am not yet fully equipt for long eyepiece projection work, but here is my attempt at using my 2x Televue barlow at f/10. The Great Red Spot was not visible. Processing: Maximum entropy deconvolution, and unsharp masking was used for the L channel, and RGB channels. Much thanks to Rich Jacobs for his patient help on this image. Instrument: 12.5" f/5 Home made Newtonian Platform: Astrophysics 1200 QMD CCD Camera: SBIG ST7E w/Enhanced Cooling Exposure: LRGB = .1:.2:.2:.2 Filters: RGB Tricolor Location: Payson, Arizona Elevation: 5150 ft.
