Saturn 17th May

[asimov (John)]

Fooled again! The seeing looked really great naked eye but the camera never lies..Once I had the target in the FOV I knew straight away it was one of those nights where the jetstream was coming through at a high rate of knots.

Anyway, kept the image scale small, used the ADC when Saturn was just a tad under 45 degrees alt. I wasn't worried about missing out on any globe detail, so shot for 6 mins, giving me in excess of 10,000 frames @ 30FPS & stacked 1800.

Two separate captures with the top one being at an exposure of 1/31 sec. & the bottom one at 1/42 sec.

Nice result, John-particularly with the conditions

[asimov (John)]

Thanks Laurie.

Here's one @ F30. Quite surprised to get a half reasonable result. A bit grainy but we can't have it all

I'd be very happy if I could achieve that, John

[Solar (Ralph Smith)]

Very nice Asi, recon Saturn season will be gone by the time I see it again.

Hi John
These look great - I do like the colours banding across the disc - very impressive regardless of the seeing.

[asimov (John)]

Thanks guys. Reckon I did a pretty ordinary job on those 2 smaller scale versions, the colour sucks. I like the F30 image heaps better. I'll redo those 2 later.

Sweet!

Good choice of scale for such conditions and worthwhile results, I normally give up when JStream is bad. ATM JS looks really bad but you never can tell.

If I can get this good I'll be quite happy!

[Shiraz (Ray)]

nice images Asi - wish the !**&%$ jetstream would go somewhere else. Regards ray

[astronobob (Bob)]

Still got the touch John

[LT_Ng]

Beautiful images. I like your Saturn images very much, especially the color.

Wish one day I could get Saturn images of similar color as yours.

Nice result Asi, I guess the alt goes some way toward compensating for the jet.
