Hi,

This monochrome Saturn image is not much to look at but I guess it is one of the first Saturn images this opposition.
The image was taken this morning (08/17/04) 12:45UT in almost complete day light(I could not see the planet naked eye), the altitude was only 28 degrees and the seeing was less than average.
I was out taking images of Venus and I thought I would give Saturn a try, I may post some Venus images later.

Starmaster 14.5 , DMK-21F04 Firewire camera, 1/32 second exposures, stack of 951 frames .

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Wes,

That is cool. Do you have a GoTo on that scope? I get a kick out of guys who can use that on the sun and then find planets and stars before it gets dark.

Wes,

Cool image. I wouldn't mind seeing some more results from your DMK-21F04 Are you happy with the camera? I'm about a mouse click away from nabbing an Atik monochrome USB camera, guess I just don't want to be one of the first.

Joe
