Saturn last night

[rmcpb]

Well, I finally got the LPI working with a lot of help from a friend and grabbed a few images of Saturn before the clouds came over last night.

Not much to look at but a start. Will have to make some fine controls on the mount to centre the image in the field, another project for all these cloudy nights :)

Now for the post processing, that will be the HUGE learning curve I think!!

And so it begins:thumbsup:

Well done Rob.

Don't know how you have saved those pics and uploaded to the site, but I'm not able to click on them to open a larger version?

Matt,

That is the size of the image. No barlow, just native image with a LPI and an f6 scope :)

Hi Rob

What I meant was, many images are 'clickable' when you hover the mouse pointer over them.

Yours aren't, so they only appear thumb-size, which is pretty small on a laptop screen.

Cheers

Matt,

I cropped it so it did not consist of a HUGE black sqaure with a bery small Saturn :)

Get the barlow in there Rob! :D

Great start, you're on your way!

Its amazing what detail is hidden in the original photos. Had a play with Photoshop and the result is really great for the crude level I am at with my knowledge.
