Greetings Bird,
That is one very smooth image, great work indeed.
I have never given any thought to building up an image such as you have done with this fine example.
All of my efforts with my Saturn imaging have revolved around trying to isolate and identify storm structure, which by necessity places constraints on the capture time for each channel of that RGB sequence. I capture each RGB set in under 2 1/2 mins, having a 16" F4.5 optical system helps to allow for a high enough fps, I use 30 fps, to capture enough data to detect storm activity within these time constraints.
Often, positive identification of this structure can only be confidently made with a series of RGB's, from experience I have found that 10 min intervals works well. Every time I have imaged Saturn of late, it has always been to try and extract scientific data and not for the esthetic's but what you have done here is truly beautiful work.
Regards
Trevor
