No it wasn't in grayscale I suppose with more experience and time the shots will get better. Tracking was the biggest problem for me. I still would prefer a web cam for planets though.
There's certainly nothing wrong with that shot for a first on Saturn with the DSI. Out of curiosity did you use anysort of focal reducer/barlow with the saturn shot?
Nice shots Ed, And with the DSI, much more impressive than my first tries with it. Nice central peak visible in Tycho, but a little out of focus, but well worth keeping the images. See if you can get a montage of the moon during this phase, I would be most interested to see it.
I like your Saturn also, much more impressive than my first and still better than the best I have imaged so far.
Keep the images coming, look forward to your next post.
Hi Ving,
Those moon pics are cool. I really like the ragged edges! Gives it a real 3D appearance. I guess they were taken very close to full moon, when it's hardest to get detail.
Well done. Keep it up.

It might have been the focus but what I didn't realize when I took those shots was that both mirrors were really fogged up.
I had to use the hairdryer twice on them that night.
Everything that was out in the open was absolutely soaked.

Did you shoot saturn in greyscale or is your saturation way down?
