Reprocessed Saturn

Had another go at the AVIs I took the other night. I'd just like to warn all the newbies out there about the dangers of rotating the final image. I purposely had saturn rotated on the laptop screen 90 deg.

I did this because I was getting planet drift on the DEC axis & it was easier to guide the planet back central on the screen along the biggest/widest axis of the toucam, not thinking about the rotation I'd have to do later!

Heres a classic example of image degredation upon rotation of the image.

Live & learn!
