Saturn May1 mediocre seeing

Hi

Despite the 65kts jetstream, finally had some marginally usable seeing - and only a few clouds - and both occurred when it was dark!!! so got an RGB image of the planet with nice bright rings near opposition. yahoo - missed out near the last opposition due to seeing and clouds. Took a lot to extract a very soft but passable image from the jittery data, but current software can do wonders.

For interest, tried an LRGB in WINJUPOS to get rid of some of the colour mismatch issues, but that gave very strange data loss regions at the ring/planet boundries - not useful.

thanks for looking. regards Ray
