Saturn last night

Well, I finally got the LPI working with a lot of help from a friend and grabbed a few images of Saturn before the clouds came over last night.

Not much to look at but a start. Will have to make some fine controls on the mount to centre the image in the field, another project for all these cloudy nights

Now for the post processing, that will be the HUGE learning curve I think!!

And so it begins

Well done Rob.

Don't know how you have saved those pics and uploaded to the site, but I'm not able to click on them to open a larger version?

Matt,

That is the size of the image. No barlow, just native image with a LPI and an f6 scope

Hi Rob

What I meant was, many images are 'clickable' when you hover the mouse pointer over them.

Yours aren't, so they only appear thumb-size, which is pretty small on a laptop screen.

Cheers

Matt,

I cropped it so it did not consist of a HUGE black sqaure with a bery small Saturn

Get the barlow in there Rob!

Great start, you're on your way!

Its amazing what detail is hidden in the original photos. Had a play with Photoshop and the result is really great for the crude level I am at with my knowledge.
