Saturn's moons animation

[Tulloch (Andrew)]

A lovely clear night in Melbourne last night, and I took the opportunity to take a few videos of Dione, Tethys, Enceladus, Mimas and Rhea orbiting Saturn. Each 5 minute video was taken about 30 minutes apart, with the moons processed separately shown larger and brighter than actual.

Shown at 150% captured size, taken with my Celestron Evolution 9.25" with Tele Vue 2.5x Powermate and ASI224MC camera.

Fantastic capture, well presented.
Well done mate.

well done. Great detail on Saturn as well : Encke Gap clearly presented. You have made the most of some very steady seeing.

[Mickoid (Michael)]

That's a ripper Andrew! Yes, seeing conditions were better last night, I even got a half decent result with my attempts but yours came out really well. You've done a lot of work to produce a nice animation, thanks for sharing it with us.

Now that is quite a stunning animation - well done.

Magnificent .. not seen an animation before, I think it adds a little life to it.

[cometcatcher (Kevin)]

Wow that's awesome!

[Tulloch (Andrew)]

Thanks all, I always enjoy capturing Saturn and the get the moons in a good position also was a bonus.

I'm not convinced that I am truly capturing the Enke gap, I reckon the ring darkening there (and in other places) are probably sharpening effects.

Very cool
