Saturn March 14th

My first half decent Saturn shots of 2013 taken at 24 degrees elevation.

At first seeing looked great but as soon as I'd tweaked focus and got settled things went wobbly and although improving during steady moments it was always up and down.

Had to use 100% Gain to attain 30fps at f26 so noise was pretty horrid. 15fps took 80% gain but seeing was not good enough for that to work very well.
Thanks to winjup de-rotation of stacked images I've got a couple of fairly smooth results. The 2nd image totalled nearly 30 mins of capture each avi consisting of 2000 frames so a total of over 10,000.
