Proper White Balance Settings for Jupiter

california

I have been using SharpCap and Firecapture to image Jupiter with my ASI034MC. In general I have been getting good results, but have been having difficulty getting realistic colors. The image as captured is quite yellow and requires a lot of effort in processing to get reasonable results. I am careful to get good histogram values, but notice that, in FireCapture, the blue histogram reading is much lower than the red and green, which are roughly equal to each other. The default values for wred and wblue appear to be 41 and 31 respectively. What should they be for a better white balance for Jupiter?

Thank You

I would recommend W_R 50 W_B 90

there is an auto balance under SharpCap. you can try it too

Hi Sam,

I used the W_Red and W_Blue values you gave me - they worked very well. Thanks for your help.
