It has been a while since my last planet
Monday night we had good seeing right before the fog came in from the sea and I decided to take a look at Saturn. Well I could watch Saturn at 600x and it was magnificent in the eyepiece! Last time I had observed a planet it was with my C11 and the difference was astounding
I took a luminance with the Infinity 2-1M and RGB with the Skynyx 2-0C. A few frames were captured because the fps was very low as I needed a very long exposure and very high gain to get enough light. I'm not used to that anymore
So TEC APO180FL at F 35 (Powermate 5x) on AP1200GTO, registax (300 frames for L and 500 RGB). LRGB in PS: I found out that re-sizing and aligning the RGB to the L channel is not a walk in the park. I don't think I did the best job at it. I may give it another try.
Thanks and ciao
