Saturn - Morning of the 18th
I think this is one of my better Saturn sessions. I went out to get a nice global shot of the moon, but found the pull of the ringed planet to strong! I also had an experiment to see if less magnification would result in a better shot. Let me explain the 4 different shots:
Top Left: The best shot I pulled from photoshop after playing with the curves and levels.
Bottom Left: The Top Left shot scaled down slightly for better quality.
Top Right: The magnification vs quality test I did. Seems there is no change in quality. Can anyone verify with similar tests?
Bottom Right: Saturn fresh from Registax (ie. the original shot).
As always, these were taken with my 10" non-motorised Dobsonian and videocamera held with homemade camera bracket.
Enjoy!
