Jupiter - April 1st, 2015, 193 video frames
I originally uploaded this at 640x480, but the Flickr rendered version looked terrible, showing much jaggedness and pixelization.
This was originally a stack of 241 video frames, limited down to the best 80 percent (193 frames).
Each individual frame has some good information, and a lot of random camera noise. As more images are stacked, the random noise cancels itself out, leaving just the real information in the final image.
I have about 25 short videos taken that night. Eventually, I'm going to try combining 500 video frames.
Telescope: Meade 2120 LX5
