Nice scale there DP. Your image scale pretty much matches with mine for the saturn data I grabbed this morning, I'm also using a 3/2 resample before processing.

Here's my capture settings:

Image scale: 14m focal length, pixel size 7.4u
Red channel: 17fps max gain
Green channel: 17fps max gain
Blue channel: 15fps max gain
camera: PGR dragonfly2

The image is very dim at this scale, so the 12-bit data from the camera is likely to be 10 or 11 bit, not too much of a loss and the seeing has been bad enough around here to want the higher fps. Just means I have to capture 2x as much data :-)

Saturn will get a bit brighter and larger near opposition.

cheers, Bird
