First Saturn for this season from Melbourne today
Hi guys,
have not posted for some time, but here is my first Saturn for this apparition taken at about 5 am this morning from Melbourne with my SkyNyx 2.0 and 12.5 f/5.
Approx. 500 frames stacked in R, G, & B and processed using AstraImage and CS3.
Looks like good weather coming in over the next 24-48 hours so lets see what the seeing does.
