Making a picture of Saturn: a Video

The other day I posted my best Saturn photo so far.

Here is the final image, and here is a youtube video showing the stages of processing I used. Best viewed in HD.

Thanks for looking,

Tom

great video Tom, that noiseware program looks like it works wonders!!

I'll be getting onto that program for sure now. Thanks very much for sharing I will have to try it on some of my old videos.

Cheers,

Rusty

Amazing to see how DSLR video technology is evolving.

Inside news from Canon suggests that in fact we'll be able to shoot video in raw format and as at high resolution as we can now take stills (don't think this is possible yet) in the future which promises to dramatically improve Astronomical imaging even further.

Interestingly, I also use the same noise processing software as it's free and works a treat.

Well done again on some great imaging which should be very encouraging on the folks without any tracking.

Wow, what a monster image. When I see these amazing planet shots, I'm always disappointed in my own visual observations that don't even come close to the fine resolution captured in these combines. Your video shows the novice how it is done. I really appreciate the fact that the raw images looked really poor! Then stunned that processing can pull out so much detail from such low res images. Manually guided too! Bravo!

Thanks very much everyone! The image is probably a little too large but I wanted to show it at full res.
