Jupiter and Mars with Sony A7RM4 + telephoto lens

Revision title: Better processed Jupiter

Quick test on how normal camera gear works in planetary photography on Dec 30th 2024 in Espoo, Finland. By no means a great setup for tiny targets but surprisingly good for non-astro specific gear that has quite a bit of flexibility in everyday imaging needs.

I used Sony A7RM4 camera with Sony 200-600 zoom lens + Sony 2x tele extender. Shot around 1000 photos in APS-C crop mode with electronic shutter for both targets, cropped the images in Lightroom, exported to tiff and processed them with Autostakkert, waveSharp and Photoshop where I did some final adjustments and naturally made the composite.

5 ms exposures at f/13 with iso 320 for Jupiter and iso 640 for Mars. Best 400 images stacked for both planets.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
