Images submission

Image

1. Orientation (North/South) must be shown, East and West must be oriented in the normal way (no vertical symmetry on the image : nothing to do on a reflector or classic refractor with two mirrors).

2. The planet should be the most horizontal possible (ie horizontal bands for Jupiter, horizontal rings for Saturn, etc. ...)

3. The image file should be preferably PNG format, or JPG (minimal compression,to keep the best image quality possible)

4. Image should present at least following information:

a. middle date and time of the acquisition movie, with second (or the tenth of minute) accuracy, or rounded to the closest minute in Universal Time
b. name of the observer
c. used filter type: IR-Cut, R610nm filter, etc. Please state if the image is a :
             - color one
             - RGB (monochrome sensor with one image for each color)
             - LRGB (monochrome sensor with one image for each color and one for the luminance)
             - specific filter one (IR, UV, or color filter, with if possible its bandwidth - for example IR>742nm) (image should be then black & white)
d. instrument used for acquisition
e. longitude in the planet coordinate system(s) (see below, "coordinate systems") of the central meridian (given by WinJUPOS or AstroCalc for example)

example:

Filename of the image

The filename of the image should be like the following:

pYYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM[-SS]_filter_obs.png or .jpg
where p=initial of the planet (j for Jupiter, s for Saturn, u for Uranus, n for Neptune, v for Venus, ...)
time is the time of the middle of the acquisition movie:
YYYY= year in universal time (ex: 2006)
MM=month in universal time (ex: 04)
DD=day in universal time (ex:13)
HH=hour in universal time (ex:20)
optional: SS=seconds (ex:30)
optional: filter=filter(s) used (ex:rgb)
obs=observer code given by the webmaster/section coordinator if needed (ex:md)

example: s2006-04-13_20-58-30_rgb_md.png

Your images pages

Once online on our website, your own images ate directly available on pages, especiially:
     - a synthesis of the time coverage of your images  http://astrosurf.com/planetessaf/saturne/images/planches/index.php?o=MDe
     - all of your images: http://astrosurf.com/planetessaf/saturne/images/planches/astro_images.php?printimages=oui&racine=s&o=MDe
where at the end of each URL address, you replace "o=MDe" by "o=" followed by your observer code.
     - a direct access at a specific image or a image serie: you just need to click right on a link or on an image from the previous URL addresses, and select "copy link" or "copy image link".
       For example, to get Saturn images from observer "MDe", from 2012.05.16: www.astrosurf.com/planetessaf/saturne/images/planches/astro_images.php?lang=fr&o=MDe&racine=s&y=2012&m=5&d=16
