[AZ-Observing] Re: Jupiter in UV/IR

This is a smart idea, one highly recommended by Ron Dantowitz, the 
"Master Wizard" of high-resolution planetary astrovideo.  He has been 
recommending narrow band/colored filters for some years -- usually a 
Wratten 25 Red as a baseline.  The key is to do separate images in 
different colors with a monochrome camera, rather than using a direct 
color camera.

This works well with video cams such as the PC-164C from SuperCircuits, 
and web cams.  I have a Vesta Pro 680 web cam that I will be ordering an 
adapter for shortly....I already have pretty good sets of various 
filters to play with....

Cheers,
