I haven't imaged for while so I thought I would go out and have a look at Saturn. Seeing was average as per usual but relatively happy with my result. However, I feel as though I shouldn't even bother to post my work given Giorgio's recent picture

Details:

8" Dob on EQ6
2X Barlow
10fps
200/800 frames stacked in Registax 4

That is a great pic Swannie, considering the rotten sky around lately. Heaps better than my effort last night

Forget about Giorgios image. Do the best that YOU can. Just enjoy it like I do.

hehe...i think I'll just have to be contempt with my Saturn images for a while. Just have to wait a few more years until Saturn is better placed for us in the southern hemisphere

Added perhaps a slightly better image from another AVI file

Yep, that one is clearer! CD is better too

Keep em coming!

I agree, the second is better. Well done for getting out there! Nice image.

Nice image Swannie, there is banding visible and there is divisions in the rings. The colours are very natural looking also.
I think you have done very well

Cheers
