Hi Chris -

Excellent image!

I also enjoy reading your happy reports of good seeing and the opportunity to see the fine results possible in pristine conditions.

Thanks for posting -

Thank you for sharing your generous comments on this image.

I think saturn is the most demanding of the planets when it comes to seeing - hoping for a good night yet to come when she shows more of her mysteries.

best regards,
Alan

Hi Wes -

In this light it does look like a very nasty injury! wink

A lovely image - the FOV of the large chip is really a breath of fresh air from 640x480.

Hi Jim -

That's a beautiful image! - the colors and processing are just about perfect. If you have the file saved in an earlier version, I would love to see if you could avoid the abrubt cropping of the dark limb by the black sky background. (a very minor quibble with a great picture.)

best,
Alan
