Jupiter the evening of January 22, 2012 (6pm). A single 60 second AVI recorded at 20 fps with a Philips SPC900 webcam with the internal filter removed. The 1200 frame clips were run through Registax4, summing the best ~250 frames with subsequent RGB alignment and wavelet processing. The shadow on Jupiter is Io's.

Mars the morning of January 23, 2012 (12:30am). A single 60 second AVI recorded at 20 fps with a Philips SPC900 webcam with the internal filter removed. The 1200 frame clips were run through Registax4, summing the best ~250 frames with subsequent RGB alignment and wavelet processing. A quick check against the software "Stellarium" shows the surface features apparent on Mars at the time are all real. Click on image for full original photo. |

Venus the evening of January 22, 2012 (6pm). A single 60 second AVI recorded at 20 fps with a Philips SPC900 webcam with the internal filter removed. The 1200 frame clips were run through Registax4, summing the best ~250 frames with subsequent RGB alignment and wavelet processing. Venus was observed only inches above a warm roof and is correspondingly non-sharp. Click on image for full original photo. |
