Saturn 10 May

[EricB]

Saturn in very average seeing last week. The bands are not very well defined this time. I shouldn't post after Asi has posted one of his ;) Oh well...

Here are the specs:

Frames captured=3452
Camera=ASI120MM
ROI=640x480
Filter=L
FPS=53
Gain=40
Gamma=51

Btw, I have worked out that I can't insert a filter wheel on my SW focuser. I am 1mm short of focus when using the x2.5 power mate. I am condemned to image in black & white :shrug:

Cheers,

Eric

Nice sharp image, Eric :thumbsup:

[EricB]

Jee, that was quick Laurie! Thanks!

Well I think it looks pretty good, Eric! Surely you can figure out a way to lose 1 or 2 mm off of something?

[EricB]

Thanks John. You are very kind.

If I shorten the trusses by a bit, that would shorten the scope slightly. Would that work?

[asimov]

Indeed it would. :thumbsup:

Nice Saturn Eric! Have you tried pulling the powermate further out of the focuser? I assume you are talking about no more out focus? If my 5x is too far in it has no out focus.

A very nice shot Eric :thumbsup:

I'm assuming Eric is talking about in-focus Stuart - Pulling something out of a focuser a bit & tweeking up the set-screw again would be too easy!:lol::P

[EricB]

Thanks Dave and Graeme!



It's so simple I have thought of it :shrug:




Yes, That's right!!!

Thanks guys.

Cheers,
