Hi Tony,

Congrats on your first Saturn on IIS.

You have the head of the storm and the CD nicely. This image does not look like you have stacked many frames at all. The more frames you stack the better the signal to noise ratio will be. I assume you are using RegiStax.

The DMK is a great camera and capable of very hi res imaging. When you are using it just for mono work you should be able to capture avi's for up to 2 min's with Saturn. If your scope is not Eq mounted you may want to try shorter capture periods, even at 1 min at 30 fps you would get 1800 frames and around 1000 frames will provide a nice result in reasonable seeing.

When RGB imaging with Saturn you have a window of 6 mins to capture all 3 channels although I am currently capturing the 3 RGB channels in 5 min's.

Good luck with it.
Regards
Trevor
