Hi Paul -

The color in the posted RGB looks fine - the blue breakout image looks somewhat dark to me. Are you creating the RGB images in Photoshop?

cheers,
Alan

Image through this!

I'm not a skilled contrail interpreter, but generally I see turbulent skies spread a contrail quickly from a linear shape into a wide smudge. It seems to remain a tight line in your photo. Perhaps it is the pilot and not the atmosphere making this shape?

steady skies,
Alan

Hi Jason,

I like your image. The small planet in a wide field captures the feeling of a first look at saturn through a telescope - a magical moment that got many of us hooked on this hobby.

Thanks for posting it!

steady skies,
Alan

Thanks for the notice. It's been a very long and cloudy winter this year - i've been fortunate to have some lunar data saved to work on. I hope we have a break in time for a look at saturn!

best wishes,
Alan

Pondering a change....

I'm pondering if moving to a C14 would be a significant upgrade from my Mewlon 250 for planetary imaging, any thoughts?

Paul

Hi Paul,

While I think a 14" scope would be a great performer from your location, you are not yet approaching the limits of what can be accomplished with the 10" aperture of your Mewlon. I would suggest working to hone your skills and push this limit further before giving up the weight and size advantages of the Mewlon.

This is pragmatic advice only - the joys of shopping are another issue altogether!

best wishes,
Alan
