How do you go about processing the rings & globe seperately? A masking technique?

Thanks Asi.
I process the rings using minor wavelets in registax, so as not to make the cassini division too wide and/or sharpen too much so that the crepe ring simply disappears. I save that as image 1. I sometimes do some minor deconvolution in AstraImage.
I then process the globe using more aggressive wavelets in registax, and then also do some deconvolution of that image in AstraImage. That's saved as image 2.
I open both images in Photoshop, and select the globe (minus the rings) of Image 2, and paste it on Image 1 as a new layer. I then adjust the alignment, curves, gamma of the globe, finish with a minor sharpen of the rings and that's it.
Hope that helps.

I was interested in your new EQ mount - can you supply us with more info (unless you already have, and I've just missed it!  ) plus a pic or two of it?
Great job, dude!

Thanks Mick. I posted a new thread in equip forum -
http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...ad.php?t=16901 which shows the mount (EQ6). The photos in that thread have the 12" on it, whereas I was using my 10" for this Saturn image.
To answer the question from your PM, when I used the ToUcam, it was at prime focus with a barlow.
