Saturday Saturn
It's been almost 20 days since my last imaging session, combination of holidays and bad weather meant I hadn't had the telescope out for what felt like aaaaages.
The seeing looked ok naked eye on Saturday night early on, but by the time Saturn was high enough at 12am (even this shot was captured at 23° altitude) it had deteriorated and didn't improve. My first avi of the night (of a run of 4 before I gave up) produced the most acceptable result.
Seeing: 3/10
Transparency: 5/10
Stack of about 1000 frames from 3000 captured.
Gain was about 80% because of the transparency, and of course is very grainy as a result. ME deconvolution in astraimage, and then Levels adjusted in photoshop to set the blackpoint and get rid of the blue.
Seeing = king.
