Saturn's moons animation

[Tulloch]

A lovely clear night in Melbourne last night, and I took the opportunity to take a few videos of Dione, Tethys, Enceladus, Mimas and Rhea orbiting Saturn. Each 5 minute video was taken about 30 minutes apart, with the moons processed separately shown larger and brighter than actual.

Shown at 150% captured size, taken with my Celestron Evolution 9.25" with Tele Vue 2.5x Powermate and ASI224MC camera.

Well done mate.

well done. Great detail on Saturn as well : Encke Gap clearly presented. You have made the most of some very steady seeing.

That's a ripper Andrew! :thumbsup: Yes, seeing conditions were better last night, I even got a half decent result with my attempts but yours came out really well. You've done a lot of work to produce a nice animation, thanks for sharing it with us.

Magnificent .. not seen an animation before, I think it adds a little life to it.

Wow that's awesome!

Thanks all, I always enjoy capturing Saturn and the get the moons in a good position also was a bonus.

I'm not convinced that I am truly capturing the Enke gap, I reckon the ring darkening there (and in other places) are probably sharpening effects.
