No not methane filtered but was going for a different look from my usual bright orange approach for Saturn.  I  therefore changed my data processing method. I think I over did the dark and brooding aesthetic (LOL} so I have swapped the image for a brighter version of the same, which I think is a bit of an improvement. I find processing the edge on version of Saturn much more challenging to keep it looking realistic. Similarly, certain views of the albedo markings on Mars present the same problem of keeping it looking real. I guess the big question is what is 'real' when it comes to astrophotography. I sometimes believe we all buy into a collective accepted way of presenting images of certain astro-objects and when we don't follow this norm we think it looks wrong. or unreal. I reckon I'm going all philosophical in my twilight years Reggie.🙃 Always nice to hear from you and hope you are keeping well!
