Hi Roland,

Superb image of Saturn. Amazing details and colors. How do you get the image to look so smooth and noisless?

Clear skies,

Ed Roach

Thank you all for your kind replies.

I hope to do some deep sky imaging again as soon as the Moon goes away.

I am amazed at the smoothness and detail that is present in this image. 8O Everything about it is perfect. I can't imagine how it could be better.
