Title: Saturn (old faithful)
Post by: Tony G on Mar 13, 2007, 23:00:41
Until I sort out the other camera and after Mikes imaging session, I noticed that Saturn had been given a miss this year until John's posting.
So I went back to basics, took my time and sorted out everything without rushing and took so images, one of which is posted below.

Tony Mate - Congrats on your Saturn - much better than mine but I think the focal length of your scope helps - You can borrow my X3 barlow if you want to give it a try.

Great image - love the colouring & detail on the globe..

Good image tony, a 3x barlow will give you a lot more detail, but this is excellent you can see the divisions and colour very well.

Thanks,
looking back at the other images of Saturn, I think this is the best one I've taken and processed to date.
I have in my possession a x4 imagemate which I forgot to get out due to the fact that everything was going to plan and that I was happy with what I had, but if all goes as planned and tonight is clear, I'll try the x2 & x4.

Tony, that is certainly a lovely image. How many exposures did you do?


I want to have a go myself.
