I'm not interested in getting color that is completely accurate to what a human eye would see, or in cleaning up images any more than they've already been cleaned in the processed versions, or in interpolating a very short, choppy series of frames - I just want to be able to stabilize and animate image sequences with color that is authentic to the data, using synthetic green channels if necessary. I know stuff like Voyager images will never feature the kind of color humans would see due to the wavelengths chosen for some of the filters, but I just get the feeling there's a proper way for these filters to be combined and I'm not doing it, because my color keeps coming out like nothing I've seen on here or anywhere else. And I've been using the highest level processed images - the cleaned up ones with geometrical corrections and calibrations. If I could have one question answered, it'd be this: how do I know I'm mixing differently filtered images correctly? I know which images are supposed to fill in for which RGB channels, but I have no idea how much of each filter I'm supposed to mix, and so I've had Uranus come out looking white and basically like a cue ball, Neptune looking pale red, Saturn looking slightly purple, etc. Plus I use a Mac, and maybe I haven't done enough reading but that also seems to limit the number of utilities potentially at my disposal. jpegs and stabilize the targeted object in Final Cut Pro manually, frame by frame, because I can't access any professional photo editors and have no idea how to write command prompts. Thanks guys! It really means a lot to be praised by big leaguers like y'all when my processing capabilities are this limited basically all I can do at the moment is take Planetary Rings Voyager and Cassini. Southern Hemisphere Cloud Mosaic - 1979 March 2 by Justin Cowart, on Flickr I've also assembled the frames from this imaging sequence into a mosaic, the shadow barely squeaks in at the top left corner when all is said and done: A check of the Jupiter viewer has narrowed it down to Amalthea or Adrastea. It's a moon's shadow, but I haven't been able to determine exactly which one of the inner moons produced it. At first it looked like a stray reseau mark that the Rings node calibration process missed, but comparing it to the next image taken, it moved: I was looking for some high-res mosaics of Jupiter's clouds to put together, and in one of these sets I saw a small dot in the corner. The second one is a little more interesting, because it has a small mystery I've been unable to solve. Jupiter 1979 June 30 by Justin Cowart, on Flickr I have a couple more contributions to the thread before I take a break from working on Voyager pictures for a little while.įirst up is a global mosaic taken by Voyager 2 on June 30, about 10 days before closest approach.
