My best Saturn from 16th

[Garyh]

Hi folks,
Well I have learned a lot the last few weeks about this planetary imaging and with some help (yes you know who you are :)) I am capturing and processing my avi`s much better. Seeing was very nice especially just after midnight on the 16th. This is a stack of around 900 out of 2200 from the best avi. Seeing was extra steady in this one..:) and progressively got worse afterwards..Managed some jup ones later in the morning but the seeing was getting closer to average..

I am ver happy with this one and shall be hard to get a better one with my little 6" newt.
Comments/advice most welcome...:thumbsup:
cheers Gary

Very nice image Gary!

I can't get anywhere near that sort of resolution or details from my 5" Newt using Afocal adaptor and a Pentax 7MP camera at 250x so it seems that I am going to have to sooner or later upgrade to the process of Prime focus so that I can get some decent shot of the planets.

If I can get any where near this quality, I will be VERY happy and won't chuck the Skywatcher out for a long time.

Cheers

Nice - looks very similar to what I was seeing through the eyepiece a couple of weeks ago. Your image has a few more bands though.

:thumbsup:

Stunning shot Gary. Amazing what you can do with a 6".

Excellent image Gary for only a 6" scope.
Huge image scale and there is lots of detail showing.
Well done. :thumbsup:

Nice and sharp Gary, the rings look great with some top detail in them as well.

Thanks doug! I had a peak through the eyepiece as well before I imaged and could see CD and the major banding quiet easily...awesome!
cheers



Thanks Geoff :thumbsup:



Thanks Matt for that...:) I did enlarge it to 200%. I like things big..:thumbsup:



Thanks Ric very much appreciated! I am very happy to capture that mucg detail but I am always willing to get more..:)

No way Gary - with a 6 inch! Thats really amazing. Well done.

Sharp as a tack. That's one well made instrument you've got there.

Cheers

I much prefer the look of it at the original size. Its nice and sharp that way. Much more blurry and pixelated in the 200% resize.
