Saturn with moons 6-1-2009

Hi All,

Finally finished processing the Saturn avi's from yesterday.

I did something different this time.

I push all the shots off the CCDStack for alignment of the colour and mono shots. While I had them all loaded I stacked the luminance channels and found the moons popped out of nowhere. Photoshop levels and curves finished them off. I tried to get them out a bit more, but it started to affect the area around Saturn too much, which I couldn't fix.

So they're dim, but they're there. It's a good test to see if your monitor is calibrated...

Cheers
Stuart

Hi Stuart,
Nice crisp image with plenty of detail, I think you have done a good job with the colour balance.

Reprocessed this one to enhance the moons a bit more.
