Thank you Andrew, for the heads up on Titan and the encouragement.
Thanks Mike, the colour got a mention at SCP too I’ll take more care. After contacting Paul Haese for some technical advice on the camera I purchased my first mono camera on 9-1-09 since then I often wonder if I’m even on the right track.

Hi Troy,
You should always use your histogram as a guide to how much gain you need for the exposure that you are using. Jupiter is bigger and brighter than Saturn so you should be able to use a shorter exposure and still get a nice histogram without having to use max gain, experiment, experience is a great teacher and there is a lot of experience available on this forum, Bird, Paul and Mike have a wealth of experience in planetary imaging and have posted some stunning images.
Cheers
Trevor
