Welcome back! As always, excellent image. Great cloud definition. Did you do an AVI then stack the individual images or did you take individual BMP/JPG images?

Clear skies,

Tim Hornbeck

Wes,

This is an excellent image. Where are you located? What tracking platform are you using with the Starmaster?

Regards,

Ahhh yes, beautifully detailed image.

Thanks

Wes,

A gorgeous image of the ringed planet! I am glad that you have recovered enough to image once again. I look forward to your future images of the planets.
