Thumbs up My first Saturn!

OK

Seeing was pretty lousy last night here in Canberra and I've not got the collimation of my new SCT anywhere near under control, but wanted to post my first Saturn regardless.

This was taken around 2 this morning using the NexImage and 2x barlow in the 9.25.

Think we pushed the gain a little too hard to compensate for very ordinary transparency, so a little grainy and blue coloured.

Settings: from memory - 1/25 shutter speed, 15fps, 75% gain, gamma=0.

All up we hand-picked about 40 frames and aligned and stacked in Registax. Very little adjustment to wavelets.

Zero post processing.

Like I said, it's not much but we've got our first cuppla runs on the board.

Any advice?
