Another 12th March Saturn

[JamesF]

It appeared to be a night of pretty good seeing here last night, but the dew was running off everything in puddles making imaging fairly tough. This was taken with the 127 Mak, SPC900, 2.5x barlow and extension with a fairly heavily-dewed corrector lens which has resulted in some artefacts from the dew and because I had the gain set higher than I'd normally want.

I'm still quite pleased with it as it's possibly the best-focused image of Saturn I've ever managed.

We're just about reaching the point where Saturn has reached a reasonable altitude at an achievable hour of the night for me. I'm quite looking forward to the coming clear nights.

Good looking shot there.

Well done James

That's a nice result!

[Space Cowboy]

Very impressive image for the little skymax! Colour noise reduction works well on this image (image analyser).

That's a great Saturn - nice one James !
