Saturn on Saturday night

Hi guys.

Although we were at the mini star party for dark sky feasts, I couldn't help but take advantage of Louie's 4" Tak FS102 on a vixen mount to do some planetary imaging.

It was early in the evening when this was taken, around 6:30-7:00pm.

Details:
- 4" Tak FS102 (thanks Louie)
- 2.5x Powermate (thanks John) giving a FL of 2000 mm
- Seeing: Good to very good
- 5 fps, 0 gamma, 90-95% saturation, 1/25s exposure, no gain

We had to focus by hand, as we didn't have a hartman mask available.

The one in the left was processed in registax/PS, and the one on the right was processed in registax/AstraImage.

Both were resized 2x to up the image scale.

Comments welcome.
