Saturn May 4 15 fps vs 7.5 fps

These shots show I have no business fooling around at 7.5 fps. Taking 1000 frames at that speed may give nice bright images relatively free of noise but all tiny planetary details are going to smear. Nothing shows it better when you see the storm in the 15 fps image which was taken just after the previous 7.5 fps image. Both have good banding detail but the storm is round in the 15 fps image as opposed to oval. I know our friend Bird wouldn't be caught dead imaging at 7.5 fps. Now I can see why.

Well it's time to head out again for another good night.
