Saturn 17-02-2006
Saturn from last night. Seeing was very good - even in the early part of the night.
Tried something a little different with this one. I stacked in Registax but did some noise reduction and wavelets in AIP4WIN (another astro processing package). Had a little more control with the wavelets.
Would like to split into RGB and process but I'm not set up to do that, yet. Will do it during the cloudy weather we are sure to get!
Two moons were captured - I'm pretty sure they are Tethys and Dione (both mag 10). Enceladus was also in the same area but at 11.5 - I think it is more likely I captured the two brighter moons. Did some selective sharpening in Paint Shop Pro to bring out the moons.
