Astro_south's saturn
I thought it deserved a thread of its own, his shot is so good.
Here's my processing attempts.. I found there were only 4 usable photos out of the 7, and stacked 3 of them.
At full resolution the image is very noisy because of the single frame, if there were 50 or 100 more to stack, it would be an absolutely awesome Saturn image.
I found that if you scale it down a bit, it really sharpens up the image nicely.
The top left one below is the original single shot, but i've brightened it up a bit to show more detail. The 2 other large ones are from stacking attempts, as are the smaller ones, shrunken down.
The single shot shows a more crisply defined cassini division, because the stacking blurred over each other a bit because they were slightly off tilt from each other and not a close enough match. I think the stacked shots show a bit more detail on the disc.
Anyway, personal preference, i'm sure Paul can do something better than my efforts.
