Saturn with 25", my 1st LRGB

[prokyon]

Hi folks,

some days ago I were at an observatory in Austria. It is on the Gerlitze.
A friend of mine is a memer of the astronomical society.
So I got the chance to observe with an 25" RC :o . It was the first time in my life.

Here some impressions:

And now my Saturn. Done with avistack, Fitswork, Registax and Photoshop.

Moons from left to right: Rhea, Tethys, Dione and Titan.

It was nice to work with LRGB, never done before.

One thing I have to tell. We observed M57 and it was no probelm to see the central star!!! Despite moonlight.

Cheers

Hi Werner,

Thanks so much for sharing this experience with us. M 57 with a 25" RC would have been memorable, indeed.

It sounds like you had a very good time, there really is no substitute for aperture.

Hi Werner, what an experience. Many would be envious, me included.

All the best.
