Hi Lester

That is an interesting observation re the 2 “invisible” satellites.

I have also noticed that when using the DMK (mono), I can adjust the Gain, Exposure & Gamma settings to reveal satellites of Saturn yet still retain a reasonable appearance of the features on Saturn’s disc, without “blowing out” the planet.

However, when I use my DBK (colour), in order to reveal the satellites I have to pump everything to almost maximum, resulting in a very noisy image with Saturn glowing like an incandescent light bulb.

Cheers

Dennis
