saturn round two

A second session with saturn was much like the first. I did use an unfiltered image for luminance this time which gave much nicer signal to work with though fine detail remains hidden in the poor seeing.

10" mak/cass (f45 - 800 unfiltered frames for luminance, f32 for color) with RGB filters and DMK 21BF04 B&W webcam.

best,
Alan

Hi Alan,

very nice image, great job and very interesting image capture. I just wondered which channel would serve best as luminance signal for saturn yesterday and thought about using just an IR-blocking filter for luminance. Nice to see this seems to works very well

Best regards & clear skies!

Thank you for sharing your generous comments on this image.

I think saturn is the most demanding of the planets when it comes to seeing - hoping for a good night yet to come when she shows more of her mysteries.

best regards,
Alan
