Now (finally) for a saturn, my first of this season and with saturn vanishing into the west probably my last until the end of the year.

This time I imaged at 12.5fps, and captured 5000 frames of red and green, and 10,000 frames of blue. The ccd is not very sensitive in blue, so the signal-to-noise is quite low. I compensated a bit by grabbing 2x as many frames.

The capture run went for more than 25 minutes, so no chance of getting any cloud detail, but lots of nice bands etc.

I think the CD is too wide in this image, probably caused by overprocessing, but at an altitude of 45 degrees that was the best I could manage.
