Processing Jupiter--When is it enough, and when too much?
I took some images of Jupiter a few days ago and I just got around to processing them. Seeing was below average. Images were captured with a 14 inch ACF and ASI 120MM camera. After stacking, I processed them with the unsharp mask in Photoshop. The unsharp mask really pulls detail out of the image, but there's a fine line between "enough" and "too much," as these examples show. It's an interesting conundrum as the most processed image shows more details, but definitely looks unnatural and overcooked.
