Saturn 03/12/2008

[Quark (Trevor)]

Hi All,
Imaged Saturn evey 10 min's from 17:10 UTC to 18:00 this morning. Had some high altitude cirrus moving through but other than that the seeing was good.

Regards

Nice and sharp again, Trevor. Every morning this week has been cloudy for me

The background is quite noisy in this one - perhaps you could raise the black point a bit or do some noise reduction?

Greetings Mike,
I thought I may have found a new storm in my first image at 17:00 UTC so used a quite severe processing regime. All of my images from this morning were submitted to the same level of processing to see whether or not the possible storm structure moved. However my follow up images were not conclusive.

Have attached the same image but with a more normal processing regime.

Regards
Trevor

ah, understand.

Thanks Trev.
