Here is another try at Saturn with the Ultima 2000 under 5/10 seeing conditions. I sure wish I could get good seeing conditions for a night, just to see what the Ultima can do under such circumstances. This is a stack of 300 images, using K3CCDTools and a Toucam 840 to acquire the images, and Registax 3 for processing.
Cheers,
Tyler

Nicely done Stuart!
Next time try to stack 1000 frames, the more the smoother it gets... (most of the times... wink )

Thanks for sharing, and keep it up!

Hi Tyler,

That's a fine looking image. You have had several good images lately, but I know what you mean about getting some good seeing conditions, the best I've ever had was 6/10. Lets hope we can get at least one night this year with seeing at 8 or better. I'd also like to see what my 8" SCT can do under optimum conditions.

Clear skies,
