You could say I'm fairly rapped with this one.

Good stuff Asi...

Any details about the capture??? Frames ... settings ... processing etc?

[asimov (John)]

Hi Matt.

700 frames total. 453 stacked/5 FPS/1/25th sec/brightness 80%/gain 60%/auto white balance checked/gamma 10%/saturation 15%...cropped/resized/hue map adjustment/hue shift adjustment/despeckle/unsharp mask in picture publisher 8.

[iceman (Mike)]

That's very sharp azi, nice work!

It's a shame your saturns just aren't getting any colour, cause you're getting everything else right!

...And so you should be. That is a mighty fine image of Saturn Mr. Asi - well done!

Asi...

You're using a ToUcam, right???

[Robert_T]

Hi Asi, nice shot indeed! Is that through your 6inch refractor?

[asimov (John)]

Yes Matt a toucam.

Mike I can give you plenty of colour, but it will be green rings & purple globe....this^is as close as I can get to 'natural' colour using a refractor, a lot better then having it on full saturation & getting the green rings which I can't stand!

The reflector will be homing in on saturn before too long.......once I finish my DEC axis drive.

[asimov (John)]

I'm grabbin' 40 winks..bye!

(no processing at all on this one, only waveletts)

[davidpretorius]

congratulations mate!!! that is really good!

compared to my colour, your colour is fantastic.

yup the big blue nebula pumper with heat extractors on will mince this to pieces now that your processing skills are passing with honours!!!!

can't wait for dec drive and also jupiter next year. It think you are in for one helluva fun and reqarding time!.
