Thanks Peter and LIS
The moon doesn’t really affect planetary imaging unless your very close ( unlike DSO imaging )
I’ve tried using the 4 x Powermate on the 6” but you have to bump up your exposure or ISO to achieve some decent resolution. My sweet spot on the Canon is ISO 800 for both DSO and Planetary
Admittedly I only shot 5 or 6 videos. Last year I was capturing 10 or so videos in a planetary session with some really good results ( that’s Lucky imaging )
I’ll be out there again when this horrible weather eventually moves on
Here’s a reprocess of Saturn
Reduced Layer 1 sharpening
Increased Layer 2 and 3 sharpening
Bumped up contrast and brightness a bit
Touched up with a bit of noise reduction
Keep same frame size and resolution

A slight improvement I think ? ( about the best I can squeeze out of the data )

Thanks
