Saturn 17th May

Fooled again! The seeing looked really great naked eye but the camera never lies..Once I had the target in the FOV I knew straight away it was one of those nights where the jetstream was coming through at a high rate of knots.

Anyway, kept the image scale small, used the ADC when Saturn was just a tad under 45 degrees alt. I wasn't worried about missing out on any globe detail, so shot for 6 mins, giving me in excess of 10,000 frames @ 30FPS & stacked 1800.

Two separate captures with the top one being at an exposure of 1/31 sec. & the bottom one at 1/42 sec.
