Saturn 04 May 2011

Finally, some above average seeing from my suburban Adelaide back yard, and I managed to get some reasonable AVIs of Saturn.

The following image was taken with a C6SE (150mm f/10 SCT with eyepiece projection from a 15mm plossl) and Neximage camera. About 1800 frames stacked with Registax 5.

I think there is a hint of the storm visible.

Hi Ivan. really good result for a 150 - definite storm detail. Regards Ray

Nice work Ivan. Plenty of detail in the image. You might want to work on the colour balance though.

Very good detail, well done Ivan :thumbsup:

Thanks for the comments guys. It's nowhere near some of the amazing photos we've seen from others this apparition, but I was pleased to get this much detail from my small "grab and go" scope.

Re the colour balance, unfortunately I am colourblind (!) so can't tell if it looks unnatural. Probably explains why I'm mostly doing monochrome imaging!

Nice detail Ivan.
Don't sweat the colour balance, it's really not too far from the eyepiece view, some of mine have been a lot less like reality.

Ah, my mistake. I have no idea what it's like to be colour blind but I'm sure it would be a pain to get colour balances correct. As Clayton said, no point in sweating it, still a nice image.
