Hi,
haven't done planetary work for what seems like ages.
I had honestly forgotton how hard it is, particularly simple things like getting focus when you've got a 5x powermate attached to your DSLR - good luck slewing to a star to get focus and coming back to the planet again! And then, there's the processing. I seriously don't know how you guys get such great images time after time:eyepop:
Average seeing, colour needs some work, a bit of fringing around the rings, but hey, its my first one of the season. Hoping to get some more time in over the coming month. :thumbsup:
Skywatcher 12" goto, canon 600d (modified), 5x powermate, video @ 33fps (magic lantern), Registax 6, Astra Image and CS6.
Cheers,
Rusty
