Saturn 12th April
The seeing was pretty crook when I first started tonight, but really settled down around 22:30. If I can capture something like this, then all I can say is what kind of spectacular stuff John and Tom are going to produce. I stayed out as long as I could, but I wanted to leave some time to process and get some sleep before heading to work in the morning. Captured at 12:42 UT.
8"SCT, 4 x Powermate, TouCam SPC880 flashed to SPC900NC (MerlinCam), 10 fps for 300 sec (3000 frames), stacked and processed 2896 frames @ 95% quality in Registax 5, tweaked in PS CS5.
Started out with a much better colour balance in the capture and this has made the process so much easier (still might have cooked it a bit too much). Pretty rough and ready process as I wanted to get at least one sequence processed before hitting the sack.
