Saturn 23rd June
SPX350 F18.2, ASI290, Baader RGB IR685.
Seeing was terrible as it has been throughout June, JStream sits ontop of Brisbane.
For a brief moment seeing with Saturn steadied so I could try my new ASI290 and its sensitivity was obvious. My Flea3 used full gain with Saturn whilst the ASI used only 64%. I imaged in 8bit, not sure what unity gain is yet with firecapture 2.6?
Focusing Saturn was a problem with seeing but I got a brief window for an rgb+ir. I include a gif of 2 IR685 15mins apart. There is some interesting detail moving near the pole, I will have to catch up with Saturn latest news.
I tried Mars but seeing made it difficult to focus and there was no detail at all to help focus; bad seeing would not let up. I did not think the storm was so bad but it is everywhere, only the pole was visible in blue. All that glorious up close detail spoilt. Hope it clears soon?
Regards, John.
