My first Saturn in 20 years... and the Moon
I haven't got any better at it lol. Seeing was absolutely terrible, the wind was blowing and everything was shaking but it's the first almost cloud free night in ages. And I was busting to try the new Skywatcher ED100 on a planet. One day I will get a better pic with better seeing and newer imaging equipment.
So the details are... The colour pic was 2000 frames of boiling mess with a 20 year old analogue 1/3" CCD Jaycar colour video camera captured with a USB video grabber and Gstar 4 software, stacked in Registax. The B+W pic with moons was about 80 frames with a 14 year old analogue frame integration video camera set to 64X, captured in Gstar 4 software and stacked in registax. I used a GSO ED barlow on the ED100 for a focal ratio of about F27 roughly.
The moon was 9 x 1/125th second frames stacked in DSS, processed in photoshop and taken with a Pentax K-x and Skywatcher ED100 at prime focus F9.
