Hi group!

I frequently enjoy the hires images and posts here, but are not often able to contribute with own images, as I am dedicated to deep sky imaging usually.

This month I had a chance to get data on Saturn at good conditions with my webcam setup.

I should have collected more frames in the R and IR, as the details really popped out there.

More details on the aquisition you find here:

Take care,
Johannes

Hi Johannes,

Best wishes,

Hi Johannes -

An excellent result. The red filtered stream looks very good. At the current ring tilt it is not an easy matter to capture a sharp Cassini division in front of the planet.

thanks for sharing this nice image here.

best -
Alan

Johannes,

A most excellent image!
May I inquire if your Cassegrain is classical or D-K?

Thanks,
Bob
