Hi Jim, Each view is actually a series of pictures that were stacked automatically. I think the LPI (Meade's Lunar and Planetary Imager) was working around two minutes for some pictures, four or five for others. I can't let it work on any one view too long because Jupiter rotates swiftly and the clouds don't stay in the same position very long. I found that out when I tried to stack a couple of earlier views taken some time apart, and the result was a blurring of detail. This was through a barlow, which magnified the image and made it so that the details would be even more obviously moving over time. The way the LPI works is that you tell it what's the least acceptable image it can stack, and it goes at it, keeping track of how many photos meet the threshold you set. For example, you can say it should grab any view that is at least 85 percent as sharp as when you start the process, is how I understand it. I tried to get 50 or 60 good images, but usually did not as all sorts of things interfered. For example, seeing would suddenly turn so bad that no good images showed up for a while so I had to call it off for that picture in order to make sure clouds didn't move and blur the resulting view. Thanks, Joe
