Saturn by webcam and Mak127

[ursamajorro]

Hi, you all! After finishing to modify my new Microsoft Lifecam Studio webcam for astronomical purposes, I took some videos to Saturn. The results are here... The setup is specified on the pics. Enjoy!

I forgot to mention: excuse my poor english.

Your English is very good, and your pictures are excellent! I'm hoping to do the same thing as soon as I can see Saturn through the clouds, and I'm inspired by your pictures as I have the same setup. Thanks for showing us your pictures.

Thank you very much! The decissive factor is the seeing. I was lucky by having a reasonable seeing, as you can see

Your english is better than some of us over here

Nice photos too so well done

[ursamajorro]

You, all, are very kind. Thanks!

Ok, let's say some details: I stacked the full HD clip in Registax6 (about 4000 frames kept) then the final edit was made in Adobe Lightroom.

The workflow for modifying my Lifecams is here. Not so good Google translate, but better than nothing...

Thanks, Emil.

Great pictures!

What software did you capture the video footage with? How long was the video? How many frames per second did you film at? What size was the video file you put into registax?

Sorry for so many questions.

Super pic

[ursamajorro]

No problem! SharpCap was the acquisition software. The camera works at 1080p and 30 fps. I took several clips 3-4 minutes long each. Kept for stacking about 70-80% of total frames. In Registax I processed the full HD clips.

Very nice work - I think you can tweak the images a lttle more - forgive my try

[ursamajorro]

No problem! I would have tweaked it myself, but I didn't like the noise that appeared during/after this process.

Fair enough!

[ursamajorro]

I have a photo more edited, but it seems to me too sharp.

Excellent stuff. I can see that i'm going to have to indulge in a microsoft camera and have a play myself!

[ursamajorro]

Not a bad idea!
