Hi All, third night in a row I've setup for Jupiter only to be clouded out. As I was setting up last night though saw that my chance for imaging Saturn this season was fast dissappearing toward the branches of the infamous mars-eating Iron Bark.
Now this capture is about as rough they come, but methinks might not have another Saturn for 6 months or so. This was one of one avi I managed to snap, with cloud and tree approaching rapidly, only 30min cool-down time under wraps, quick focus on screen and snap without even checking gain or exposure of colour balance etc. Seeing was average. When I did check exposure after the avi saw I was set to around 1/33rd and gain at 100% and gamma 10%. There was some obscuration of the field by the Iron Bark and a little cloud fading.
Surprisingly given those conditions I've actually done worse. Worth posting as it's probably my last Saturn for the season, and all I've got to show for 3 nights attempted imaging. I've tried to boost the area where one of the moons was lurking - I can just make it out on LCD, but if you can't use your imagination (there's surface detail, volcanoes and outgassing OK).
cheers,
