The return of Saturn 20-2-05

Ok I've had a bit of a play with some of the other avies and have picked the best of them. For some reason though there seems to be a fair amount of green around the polar region.

An interesting thing I found out is that Registax doesn't like avies over about 2000 images. It keeps giving the message of "Can't decompress avi" I decided to try Rumples Riot suggestion of avies 3000 frames long. Poor old laptop nearly pooped itself handling 640 res avies that long. I ended up chopping a couple of the avies up into more manageable bits in Virt Dub.

The following are the best three. The two larger ones were taken at the 640 res setting on ToUcam. I haven't removed any poor frames in any of them. The 3000 framers I broke up into sections of 500 frames, 1000 frames and 1500 frames. Then combined those three bmps in reg3 to produce the final image. Only PS work has been to reset the black point. I may have been a bit hard on the smaller image with some of the Reg3 processing. I've also used a reference frame of 10% of total frames for each one. I've found this makes a big difference to the final product
