Saturn, Titan, Dione, Enceladas, Tethys & Rhea

Hello,

The seeing wasn’t quite up to Barlowing or Powermating last night, so I had a go at Prime Focus with the DMK to chase down some moons of Saturn. Here is a composite of the moons and Saturn.

Titan 8.2m
Dione 10.2m
Enceladas 11.5m
Tethys 10.0m
Rhea 9.5m

Mewlon 180mm F12 at Prime Focus
DMK 21AF04.AS ccd camera
Composite of correctly exposed moon image and correctly exposed Saturn image.
Originals processed in Registax. Composite created in Corel Photopaint 12.

Cheers

Dennis
