Saturn from the Easter break

Hi all,

Went to visit the outlaws near Caboolture over the break and took the imaging gear. Haven't done a lot of planetry lately but the weather was supposed to be good, so...

Would you mind please
telling me what your equipment is that you
used for this excellent picture?

Sorry for the delay in reply Larry. I all honesty, there are much better images of Saturn on this forum than mine. In any case I caprured approximately 300 frames using a TouCam webcamera through a 4 X Televue Powermate, Celestron 9.25 Schmidt-Cassegrain. Stacked with Registax 5 and final processing in Photoshop CS5.

Thanks for asking.

Tony

There might be better images out there but they were not 300 frames with a TouCam. Well done.

Oops, that should read "captured 3000 frames"... but I think it only used 1500 of them.
