Another gorgeous saturn and nice capture of that transit. I observed for a while in my 6" and wasn't able to find the moon until it was very close to the limb.

Hi Wes -

It is an interesting effect - like a photo taken with a long lens at wide aperture where only part of the image is in sharp focus.

I really like the full range of tonal values you achieve in these images - beautiful and naturalistic.

That is a gorgeous shot - and a great portrait of Io and dusky Callisto.

Thanks for sharing it.

Hi Wes -

I really like this image and the Petavius you posted earlier. I think there is just as much detail to be captured with the sun higher up and the shadows less severe. It certainly widens the number of potential targets on a given night.

Beautiful processing, as always.

You guys wowed me at NEAF

Hi Philip -

That was a great star party, wasn't it?!

The T-max is a simple tilting device which in my opinion is an absolute must. It will tweak the bandpass and bring into visibility doppler shifted filaments that are heading our way. There was a fantastic long skinny one that I couldn't see at all on Saturday until I played with the T-max.

A fantastic hi resolution image - but I don't see the heart. To me it looks like a potato that has been in the pantry too long!

great work -
