Thanks David.
Appreciate the feedback and agree entirely about Saturn's moons. As mentioned, with the mono Jupiter image there are no layers, it is just a single image with the moons as capture. With the colour Jupiter it's almost the same, the moons only needed the slightest increase in exposure. Unfortunately with Saturn the moons are at such a low level (barely above the noise) that we have to create a layer which is dramatically over exposed and then mask it. It's these last two steps that is hard to get right. Too much or too little exposure is an issue, and the masking is problematic. Something for us to keep working on. It's worth it for Saturn.
Thanks again.
