Here are some pictures of Saturn that I took last Sunday in my backyard in Madison, Alabama. Processed them yesterday. The seeing was good and I caught the Cassini division, some banding, and the polar hood. However, none of these really show the crepe ring although it was easily visible in the eyepiece. I think I had the gain set too low. The stacked images came out dark and I had to stretch the histogram a lot to brighten them up. Got some funky colors on one. Each stack is from about 800 frames. I used a 3x Antares barlow and resized these two down by 10 percent. Taken with a Toucam Pro 740 webcam and a Nexstar C11 with IR suppression filter. All processing doen in R4 with some noise reduction and resizing done in PSP7.
