Saturn 13th June

Seeing was ok at times but generally speaking, overall it was pretty ordinary.

F32 with some F22's coming soon that will hopefully be slightly better.

In the shot, Rhea Tethys & Dione.

Nice work Asi, reducing the F/L from F32 to F22 certainly made for a crisper image, although the F32 image is still a very respectable result.

My 5x PM, filter wheel & Flea3 are a complete fixed unit which has many advantages but when the seeing is ordinary I often think about separating it to allow more flexibility regarding F/L. Being an optimistic soul I keep expecting better seeing will be just around the corner.

Well done.
Regards
Trevor

Thanks JJJ appreciate your comment

Cheers Trevor. I've found the flexibility to be able to change the F/L's to suit the conditions almost mandatory here in QLD.

Great work Asimov.

It is good to see a lot of gifted astro-imagers on here. When I take it up in a few months I'm going to be looking for heaps of advice.

Thanks

Thanks Troy.

Thanks Earl. I've spent a few years getting the right equipment, camera & associated software etc. etc. but the only real gift is that nice seeing that sometimes occurs. Only too happy to offer any advice when you're ready

Fantastic image, I like the way the C11 brings out the extra colour and definition compared to my 9.25 and the rings nice and clear. The F22 shows a lot more colour bands on the surface, nice work.

Thanks Bob & long time no hear mate.

Thanks Carl. My first SCT was a C9.25 but the C11 does give you that extra advantage.
