Saturn 23 May 2015

Hi everyone,

My first go at Saturn this year.. Captured from frosty Canberra on opposition night. It was -2 degrees around the time of meridian transit.

WinJUPOS combined image of five three minute exposures @ F30, ASI colour cam.

Cheers,

Thanks Alan, Leon and Ian.

Here's a bit less saturated version plus individual raw stacks. Been imaging last night also in between high cirrus around. Tonight's looking good also, may have a go at the moons.

Unfortunately the more power the less frame rate, these were taken at 11 fps, approx. 500 frames per stack.

A very impressive result Sebbie, particularly so for such a slow frame rate. The seeing must have been exceptional.

Nice going Seb - a bit noisy so maybe more frames? but lots of details!
