Saturn April 17 - first

[Phoenix (Steve)]

Hi Folks

My first real go at Saturn - thorn between many roses, but thought I would post anyway. 15" SDM with 5x powermate. 200 frames (best of 1000) aligned, stacked registax6. Seeing was very average.

Thanks for looking.

Cheers

Still not a bad image despite the conditions Steve.

Hey Steve. A very respectable image considering the stack size. I can usually tell a 'natural planet processor' when I see one, & I think you are one. Keep heading in this direction

A bit green in the colour balance area but still a nice image! Pity about the seeing.

Everyone says it, seeing is king! A fine image despite the seeing.

Nice result Steve. Congratulations

[Phoenix (Steve)]

Thanks guys for your comments and for the encouragement Asi, much appreciated. Take your point about the green - stare at the image for too long and you start to miss the obvious. See what the whether brings in the next few days and will have another go.

Cheers

No problems Steve. Not many planet imagers around these days (discounting overseas) so we have to stick together

Great result for your first real go Steve, and a good image by any measure, especially if you've only stacked 200 frames.

Nice Saturn Steve
