Good Ol' Saturn

[asimov]

Not bad for my 3rd attempt with the toucam. Getting abnormal colors in the pics....must be the achro. refractor? :confuse3:

[asimov]

Another one. The suns nearly up which brings my fun to an end!! :sad:

Beautiful! The colour problem's almost certainly due to the acro refractor - while my Mewlon's away for servicing I'm also using a 6inch synta acro refactor and experiencing the same issues though I haven't turned it on Saturn yet, just mars. Are you using any filtering? I stacked together a baader IR/UV and a WO minus violet filter to kill of both ends of the spectrum - this helps (might get rid of some violet fringing), but I notice when opening up the histogram tab in Registax that the R, G, and B lines are way out of alignment still. Thought of maybe recording in B&W mode through individually R, G and B filters and then combining might be the best way to get colour alignment and the best images from an acro.

Anyway, with Saturn, I like it - in some ways it enhances the image. Good Stuff.

cheers,

I think you have done very well, I am colour blind so your colour issues go unnoticed for me.. you have good detail so you gotta be happy with that

:) Fine work there John on your Saturn and others with your new ToUcam , well done

Hi John,
nice shot(s).
Do you use the "Auto White Balance".
Try checking the box so it is "on" for about 20 - 30 secs, and then uncheck it.
Shoot your avi as per normal.

Hi guys.

Robert, I haven't tried filters as yet, but I will next time I'm out. My histo R,G,Bs are way out too. Actually saturn looks pretty nice as B/W.

Thanks for that tip Gary. From memory I think I left that feature on auto....there was plenty going on so I can't say for sure, lol.

Thanks again.

Those pics are great. I'd be stoked to get shots like that

[asimov]

Just trying my hand at reprocessing. I combined the above 2 pics in registax & resampled to a slightly bigger size. Messed with the saturation & tone balance etc etc. Then sharpened in neatimage at the risk of adding more noise.

(thanks Matt)

Good stuff, Maybe have a go at Saturn myself tonight. Personally, I like the First image.

[asimov]

Yeah, me too actually. How'd you go last night Paul, any observing/photography happen?
