Yet another Saturn

I'm a rank newbie, and this is my first Saturn that I'm not embarassed to show.

It was taken in Tucson AZ, 11pm, Jan 2. Temp 47F, seeing was 3/6, transparency 2/6. Intes MK67, Teleview diagonal, Teleview Powermate 2.5x, SAC IV. Exposure was 1/10th second. Captured a 200 second AVI in Astrovideo at 640x480, uncompressed. Stacked the top 2004 of 3000 in Registax. It took 16 hours for my PC to stack and align the 1.3 Gig file! The result was then ruthlessy abused in Maxim D/L.

Certainly nothing to be embarrassed about. You have captured excellent detail on the globe (better than I ever have). Your focus is clearly very good.

Referring to your response to my "Solar System" post, If you haven't gotten any Jupiter images you like, its only a matter of time.

When you image Jupiter, how many images are you trying to stack, taken over how long a time frame. Keep in mind, Jupiter canges its appearance relatively "quickly." Is it possible you are trying to stack images that a too disimilar? Or, possibly Jupiter is still too low in the sky wnen you tru to image. Judging by your Saturn, your "Jupiters" should be fine.
