Missed this one John, nice work. You have had a great apparition of both planets so far. Saturn is nice and smooth with lovely colour.
Mike, to go along with the fishing analogy it is like pulling in bigger and bigger examples of the same fish. As planetary imagers we are just never satisfied with if we have got that perfect image. Well maybe Anthony and Trev can say they have examples of the perfect Jupiter image. I reckon this is what drives us onward. I thought I had seen perfect seeing in 2008, but now having seen Bird's and Trevs data from 2010 I want to pursue that seeing further and keep trying to get that perfect image.
DSO by comparison has another angle at which our obsessive compulsions can be played out. Each image has to be better or more interesting than the last with more and more punch. Each image requires more time, planning and research.
So while seeing plays an ultimate part in planetary imaging (without out it we just cannot perform the processing that you see here), time and planning plays the part of the DSO image. Horses for courses.
