Hi

Here's Saturn from yesterday morning. Seeing was barely 5/10, and transparency was average, too.

I captured luminance + RGB data @ 15fps (1/15s), with both the 3x barlow (top image) and the 5x powermate (bottom image).

400 frames were processed in registax, followed by LR deconvolution in AI and Photoshop for combining the luminance and RGB layers.

I used a less processed version for the rings and a more processed version for the globe, to reveal the banding on the globe without overprocessing the rings and making the cassini division even wider than it is. Unfortunately there's a few registax joins in there as well.

Not my best for the season, but good to be out amongst it again after 7 weeks of no imaging!

Thanks for looking.
