g'day Matt. I was surprised by just how much detail stood out in the animation, especially the clouds on the band edge - worth doing.

Ray, I've just popped them both on the IceInSpace facebook page and it's getting a lot of attention in there very fast. I can't resist quoting here one of the comments just said in there: "I seriously thought that was an image by the Cassini Satellite! Brilliant!!!"
There's a lot of "wow" comments in there.

Ray, what equipment were you using? Would you mind providing the details please so I can pop into the fb post, thanks. |
Hi Suzy. thanks for doing that.
The equipment was a 300mm f5 GSO Newtonian with a 5x Powermate (effective focal length of ~8m) on an EQ6 mount. Exposed through RGB filters using a TIS618 mono camera. Processed with AS!2 software which combined about 3000 frames from about 8000 taken over 6 minutes.
regards ray
