Another go at Saturn (Jan 25th)

[John K]

Took everyone's advice from the forum and cranked up the gamma, brightness and gain settings for another attempt at Saturn early this morning with the 12.5" and NexImage.

Poor seeing and really bad wind vibration meant that I only got 650 acceptable frames to stack but it's all about improving from the previuous effort. (Hoping for better conditions tonight)

Results as follows:

Yeah, good image John. Very hard to get Cassinis division all the way round here in the Southern hemisphere. Keep em coming.

Great Stuff John, looking good:)


Have you tried using LR deconvolution processing in Astra Image instead of ME. I find this reveals detail a bit better than ME but also a little more noise.

cheers,
