Saturn - colour raw mode @ 500x

Hi,

Mike has sent down his 2x and 2.4x for me to buy. Thanks Mike

So here is my first go with a barlow.

Toucam is in raw colour mod and I have to agree with Mike, I don't think it is worth it for planets. It is working nicely for dso's, but no good for planets.

Anyway, managed to get 2 x 10 sec passes. Used iris this time for a median stack to see what it would do.

had to use gain, as i was at the maximum exposure 1/25.

Keen to give it another go tonight weather permitting.

Had a lovely visual at mars tonight, First time i have seen detail on mars even at 100x. Tried the 6mm (200x), nice, tried the 6mm and 2x, not bad!.

The 6mm would not work with the 2x and 2.4x barlows all combined together, but the 12mm did. I was very happy with the viewing even at 480x. Not bad eye relief either.

I just remembered, i was going to do the same thing and view saturn at 480x, but plumb forgot in the rush to process.

Tonight take out the raw mod and try mars and saturn again.
