Saturn 18/04/2011

Like many others here in the UK, I am having great difficulty getting a decent image of Saturn. The seeing always seems to be terrible and it is so low in the sky. Anyway, here is an effort from a couple of nights back:

It is a very soft image, but this is the best I can extract from my equipment with the current conditions. I am still using Registax 5.1 as I find it produces better results than version 6. This is almost certainly user error though, I will keep going with version 6 until I figure it out.

Cheers,

Thats another cracker Chris! You are certainly the top spc 900 Saturn man! Once again love the colour balance. Try this reg 6 tutorial :

Thanks for your all your comments.

Stuart, I am not sure I would claim to be the top SPC900 Saturn man! I have been impressed by the detail in some of your captures and especially by your processing experiments.

Maybe we need a dedicated forum for planetary imaging with SPC900 webcams for those of us that like to squeeze all we can from these little gems.

Cheers,

Thanks Chris but your cassini and colour balance is better than any other spc 900 shots I'v seen on here. Yeah maybe we should set up a dedicated thread and have our own POW competition
