An excellent Saturn Ed! Lots of banding detail! I think you'll be ready when some great seeing comes your way!

Hi all,

I finally got the software to work with the 16 bit FITS files, this is with 12 align points. Much sharper esp in the corners.

Thanks everyone for the kind complements! I was amazed how much resolution could be had with only a 2.5 barlow! I wonder how it will be when I get good enough seeing to imae with the 4X's grin

Really sweet image Ed! Almost some hints of perhaps some storm structure in the bands?
I have yet to get one colour pic of Saturn just shot a B&W one night before getting shut down by clouds!

thanks
