Imaged Saturn last night in poor seeing, 4/10 at best. The prime reason for the session was to image the NNTrZ dark oval for another data point on my drift chart.
The seeing was too bad to capture RGB data but the R channel did resolve the dark oval, at L3 8 degrees Lat +45.3 degrees. I have attached an animation of the two R channel data sets salvaged from this session. I only stacked 30% of my data for these images.
I guess this underlines the importance of animating data to detect detail in less than great seeing and they are probably just as important for the positive identification of very small detail in good seeing. Only animations can show the difference between noise & real detail.
