Saturn & Titan 29/11/08

[Quark (Trevor)]

Hi All,
Imaged Saturn this morning every 10 minutes from 17:25 UTC, this was my RGB from 18:15 UTC. The first two RGB sets were of no use as at such a low altitude the images were just to unstable. Got a lot better as Saturn rose higher.

Regards
Trevor

Nice work Trev.
Is this part of your work for the cassini team ?
Great detail there.......Cheers Kev.

Excellent work Trevor, nice and sharp and good colour and banding.

What fps did you use?

[Quark (Trevor)]

Mike, I used 30 fps with an exposure of 1/30 sec and altered the gain to keep the histogram at about 140 for each channel. When it gets a bit higher I will try my 3x Barlow.

Kev, Georg Fischer asked me to start surveying around this region for him. I think he is back in Austria now but he is still working on SED's (Saturn Electrostatic Discharge).

Regards
Trevor
