Saturn 23 May 2015 - Redux

[Sebbie (Sebastian)]

Hello again,

Better image scale and colour balance with this reprocessing attempt. Used drizzle stack option in AS!2 prior to processing in WinJUPOS. Total of 24 minutes capture time, 4000 best frames.

Attaching a link to animation of six composite frames showing rotation of a storm cell in the NEB. There may be others too but not as well visible amongst the noise.

Thanks for having a peek,

Seb

Very nice processing Sebastian! Your image seems to confirm the C ring features that Maurice and I captured, particularly the narrow dark division.

Cheers,
Stefan

Looks good Sebastian. I like it better than your previous version with this data. As you say - more details are visible.

regards
Maurice

Thanks very much Stefan. I was blessed with exceptional seeing conditions over that half hour. Currently processing images from subsequent two nights but the results are not as consistent.

BTW Central Meridian label on the original photo should read 55.9 not 325.6, I've used an incorrect value from the FireCapture file ( recorded under Jupiter profile ).

Thanks Maurice, I think I'm at the limit of what my scope / colour cam can achieve.

Cheers,
Seb

Thanks Trevor.

I wish we get more steady nights this winter to record Saturn weather, hopefully more activity is coming
