Hey everyone,
just thought of sharing my first afocal Saturn effort of the year 2011
Seeing and transparency where around 6 out of 10 I believe.
I used my Kodak Z812 IS and a 10mm nagler with my 10inch Bintel Dob.
i took a movie consisting of 728 frames while camera held by hand so many frames where discarded manually. Resolution was 600*480 HD.
I used RAD video tools to convert the video to BMP frames, NINOX to center the planet in the middle of the frames and Registax for processing followed by some photoshop tweaking.
Below are the Photoshop tweaked image followed by the registax image.
Next effort, will include a 2.5 barlow but will wait on good seeing conditions and hopefully i would have upgraded my camera by then as the video quality is extremely poor.
Cheers
