I'm trying to follow along with one of the Jupiter datasets, but when I go through the WinJUPOS process the end result is really blurry (showing what appears to me to be motion blur). Clearly I must be missing some step somewhere, but after watching the video four or five times, I am not seeing it.

I love the fact that these videos are succinct and yet very detailed. Very well done.

Great tutorial looking forward to try it out on my own!
