Hi all,
I take this opportunity to introduce myself to You and also introduce you the new restyling of my personal website so nicely done by my dear friend Davide Del Vento (thank you so much, Dav!) who spent his own free time in making all of this and, above all, in making me convinced this solution was the way to go!
After having missed a good opportunity of catching Mars from here in
Lowres Land, the same would have happened also with Saturn if I wasn’t so brave to push myself beyond my limits!
So far, I never considered a multipoint alignment also with Saturn,
neither the manual hand picking of the raw frames, neither the stacking
of several images captured over different nights. But all of this was
due in order to have a decent image at least for the 2008 and not to
trash any single image captured on last February.
At the end, I stacked 2800 luminance frames out of 80.000 (1 out of 28, a thin 3.5% only!) captured over three nights across the opposition to put Saturn 2008 banding in a nice show.

I only hope this is the first time AND the last one as well I’m forced
to do this!
