Saturn last night

[Spikey]

Not having a lot of luck recently

Initially I was messing about with the 3x televue but the seeng just wasn't good enough and Saturn was too dim to capture anything worth processing with the 3x.

So, I used one of the Skywatcher bundled standard 2x barlows (must get a decent one soon!) with the SPC900 to capture the following in Sharpcap. Processing then done in Registax 6 which is being a pain and refusing to allow me to process the 6 other captures of 6 mins each I did.

Anyway it's also been through Image analyser for a bit of deconvolution and a tweak of the blue down and the red up a touch. Scaled up to 125%. Just ordered a new mount and mask so I might start improving soon !

Thanks for looking.

I think it looks quite good. I've yet to capture the Cassini division yet - well done I say!

That's a definite improvement to last time

Cassini clearly on view.

Why was R6 complaining? I have just used Castrator for the first time. Makes the AVIs much smaller. R6 now proceesses AVIs that it did'nt like before. Might be worth a try?

Thats a good effort considering how bad seeing was last night Simon. Reg 6 is a quirky thing....I find sometimes it wont open an avi giving an error message but if you try again it works.

Cheers Stu - I've figured out it doesn't like large .avi's. On ver 5 there was a setting to allow .avi's up in excess of 2gb which was also needed to be cjecked for .avi's over 1gb. Just tried another capture in Reg 5 and it was fine but refused to open in Reg 6. I can't see where this option might now be in Reg 6.

Here's the Reg 5 version of the next capture which I think looks better.

Nice image there, keep at it look forward to seeing your captures with the new mount.

Nice images, the R5 definately looks better. R6 will do a good job, just need to get the settings right. The tutorial on the Registax webpage is helpful.

R6 won't open a lot of my larger file size captures but R5 will.

Umm curious? check your settings in R6 and , you have inputted the corect nu of CPU's ??????

If anything it's R5 I'd expect to hear such problems about.

Good effort tho Spikey !!
