Title: Worst ever Saturn
Post by: MarkS on Apr 30, 2013, 22:23:19
This is my worst ever Saturn.  But I thought I'd post it anyway.  It was done last night as a test of the 50 frames/sec 640x480 crop mode video on the Canon 550D.  500 frames processed in Registax:

Here's a single frame:

The seeing was bad and look at that atmospheric dispersion   :(  - Saturn was only 20 degrees above the horizon.

Sadly, that pixel for pixel video mode was dropped from the 600D.

Forgot to say it was on the Celestron C11 with a x2 Barlow.
