Saturn

Andrew (Tulloch) has been inspirational on IIS and Cloudy. So I thought I might give the planets a crack. Suits my interest in EAA and setup.

First semi decent (for a beginner) effort so tips would be very helpful.

C11, AZ, QHY 462
Software: SC4, AS3, RS6, LR Classic.
1x45s avi capture.

Thanks for looking

Excellent first images, impressive. About the only tip I could provide is selecting a smaller ROI to reduce the black sky around the planets, unless of course you want a wider field to capture the moons as well. This will allow for a faster frame rate capture and helps to freeze the seeing and reduces the total file size, so saving space .

Thanks Bohdan

Thanks Jeff, the ROI was actually even bigger for that image. I cropped it for posting. I wanted to capture the moons, I could see them much better with the gain cranked right up, when framing. I have a lot of avis with a much tighter ROI which I will process.

My Videos got extended out to 2m, while sharp cap recorded the buffered frames. Should I split these videos into smaller chunks? I think it’s max 45s for Saturn and 30s for Jupiter. But ive seen posters on cloudy using 3-4m. Not sure the steps for that.

Very good capture Hemi, one of the best I have seen in this forum, and certainly way better than I have ever done.

The guys and girls down in Solar system can give advice if needed.
