First cab off the rank from this mornings efforts with Saturn.

C11/DBK618 @ F20 + 160% resize.

Wow John

That is a cracker, very smooth and very crisp all at the same time.....

That DBK is making me drool....

Excellent work

Cheers

Nice ring structure evident John. Colour is very nice too.

[Lester]

Strooth, John that is very nice. Imaging Source should start paying you a comission as the sales of their DBKs go through the roof.

All the best.

Very nice Asi, top effort with the "C" ring, would love to see it at its original size.

Cheers

Another cracker, for sure, John.

What fps can you use with your C11 and the DBK618?

Do you use an IR/UV blocking filter?

Hi John - that is awesome too! The crispness and colour are superbo!

[StephenM]

Excellent result John! Well done!

Cheers,
Stephen

[John Hothersall]

So jealous of your seeing, great inspiring result with oh so much detail.

John

[Star Catcher]

That is a superb result. Lovely colour and processing.

[Shiraz]

what a beauty - very high res. Regards Ray

[ballaratdragons]

Fantastic result again AsiJohn!

So nicely detailed it might have the Conspiracy theorists saying they can see buildings and roads :rofl:

[asimov]

Hi all. Just got out of bed from a 13 hr run-in with a freaking really nice migraine, but capturing & processing & lack of sleep for long periods of time; well expect something to happen.

Thanks for all your comments!

Just get it Chris! End the drooling lol.

Original size on the way Trevor..

Ivan: Can only use 30FPS right now due to Saturn's relative size & brightness. That will change as we head to opposition, but I've never been able to image this target at 60FPS yet. What will change is being able to go a bigger image scale with close to the same brightness.

Anyway, plenty more data to look at yet but I can't see me producing any better than this one.

[asimov]

The original for Trevor. No processing. Straight out of Registax 6. (3500/8000 stacked).

I'm counting 3 moons in the shot as well.

As you'd know Trevor, to get to 160% & beyond on a resize you need some seriously nice seeing.

LMAO mate :lol::rofl:

:thumbsup:

[Quark]

Love the original Asi, a beautiful image indeed.

Cheers
Trevor

[asimov]

Thanks Trevor. I have quite a few like this but of way better quality from various nights. I may post them some time. Right now though, it's all about data acquisition rather than bothering to post fantastically detailed final images for forums. That'll come later.:thumbsup:

[Jen]

:eyepop: woah thats an awsome pic John :thumbsup:

[asimov]

Hi again Jen. Thank you!

[SkyViking]

Wonderful image, the detail and smoothness is just stunning. Congratulations :)
