Hi All,

Got up early to shut the scope down from imaging the previous night.

Had another go at Saturn with the usual setup (DMK for luminance, SPC900NC for colour). Again I combined shots of the planet in CCDStack and I'm happy with the result.

Cheers

Thanks all, anyone know how I managed to get that violet edge to the rings and lower half of the planet. Has to be something I did in processing...

Cheers

That's very sharp and detailed, Stuart. Nicely done indeed.

I think the violet is likely due to colour misalignment? Maybe the blue channel was slightly "larger" than the others?

[rat156]

Undoubtedly Mike, I'm sure you have the same problem when using the RGB filters, the blue channel is always rubbish. I can't remember seeing violet before though, might have a really good look at the subs, see if something is misaligned on the colour ones.

Cheers
