Thought I'd wasted my time last night as thin cloud was blocking out Saturn and only managed 22fps with very dim captures but the resulting stack is pretty decent.

Nice work Stuart! Bet you'll be grateful when Jupiter comes around again ;-)

Thanks Ray!

Cheers John, yep I'm getting green knees imaging Saturn down in the grass so Jupiter will be a relief provided the weather cooperates as it will be mid winter at opposition. :)

Thanks Trevor! We've had so few clear nights over the past 6 months that the past week's clear weather has been a case of "make hay while the sun shines" 6 sessions in 9 days which I think is a record for me lol. Rains are now back so could be 6 sessions in the next 6 months! :P
