These are absolutely fantastic images David. It just goes to show the versatility of the sct in good hands.

I agree with Craig the colour balance looks spot on and your refractor as captured some lovely fine detail too.

They are a cracking pair of images. You have processed them with a lovely natural look,

Thats a lovely clean detailed Saturn image Geof. You have captured some excellent banding detail despite the dew on the corrector problem.

Saturn captured on the evening of the 16th Sept in what was good seeing all over the country. I captured nine 3min runs then deroted in winjupos I used a Asi462mc. Zwo adc. x1.5barlow on a C11xlt.

What superb images Simon. They have a beautiful subtle colour balance with great banding on show. I would say your best by far this apparition.

Some lovely banding detail and great resolution on show Kostas. I have not captured any IR this apparition I must give it a go.

What a lovely image Kostas that as certainly wet the appetite for things to come.

Thats a very tidy image Paul from a 5 inch refractor. Hope you dont mind I have just tweaked the rgb align in reg6 and a couple of other little things.ie resized.

I've just finally finished processing what I think is my best saturn so far. The data was captured on august 30th with a Asi290mono on the same evening I used the Asi 462mc to capture the colour image which I have already posted.

I captured eleven 3minutes rgb runs then derotated in WJ. Stacked in as3  Processed in registax6 - cs6 - aa5

C11 xlt - Asi290mm - Baader Rgb Filters - Resolution .15pp

Thats a good image Craig. There is some very nice banding showing through. I hope it wasn't the curse of friday 13th when you damaged your scope as I had a mishap that put me out of action too.

I think you are definitely back in the saddle Geof. That colour Saturn is just superb👍

They are very nice Kostas great detail and lovely colour balance.

Your patience as certainly paid of Geof by waiting for a decent seeing window. There is some beautiful banding showing through on the colour image and you have also managed to keep it clean and smooth.

That's a decent image Kostas depite the lousy conditions. My captures of jupiter went in the bin as I just couldn't get any data out of them.

That is a very good image Simon considering the awful conditions we endured last night. The cassini is definitely visible and it as a nice colour balance too.

Well done Geoff for getting out imaging again so soon after surgery. There is some very nice subtle banding showing through on the colour image.

I didn't Reggie I was clouded out as I think most of the UK was. Thursday is looking promising Though Fingers Crossed.

Well done Reggie that's a superb capture and processed image.

Excellent work Kostas. What a brilliant project you are doing.

Hi Neil. What a great example this animation has of this effect. So thanks for posting this. When Kostas first picked up on this I thought I had a artifact through over processing the data. So well done to you both for pointing this effect out to me.

Bye the way It's great to see you posting again 👍

Just noticed a slight blue cast on top of the globe while checking for any artifacts so tried to reduce it. I also increased saturation a touch more.

Very nice Saturn and excellent banding definition. Do you think that's a spoke at the left hand side?

Hi Kostas I've had a good look but not sure what you mean.

They are superb Kostas for such early captures Especially with the windy conditions. Very Well Done.

This image of Saturn was captured on the 30-8-24. I decided to swap camera's from the Asi290mm to the Asi462mc to make processing with winjupos a touch easier.

C11xlt - Asi462mc - Amplification .12pp - five 3minute runs derotated WinJupos.

That's a very clean Saturn image Craig with some fine detail starting to show for just a single capture.
