Freddie Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Wasn't expecting much, and didn't get much !!!Taken Sunday morning skimming the tree tops at less that 20 deg. Seeing rubbish not helped by low altitude.Wanted to try something a bit different, but back to Jupiter me thinks !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Cowboy Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Well done Freddie thats an early one! Those rings have certainly come round almost face on now but sadly Saturn will be skimming the trees for the next 10 yrs in the UK so this is very good practice!

JamesF Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Holy cow is it Saturn time again already?!I really do need to get something set up so I can break out the C9.25 again. I think the lack of altitude of Saturn over the next few years and the problems that it causes are just asking that bit too much of the little Mak. I struggled enough last apparition and it's only going to get worse.James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 Thanks guys. Saturn does get to the heady heights of 25 deg in a month or so !!!! may give it another go then.Had a look at the other AVIs I had (worst quality graphs I've ever seen) and all pretty much the same (i.e. rubbish) but processed this one which may be slightly better, or maybe not !!

Kokatha man also! Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Bravo bro..!!! :icon_salut: I think they are boardering on excellent given the altitude for you etc.....naturally I'm salivating over the prospects in (say) 6 weeks time or so for us "down here" with Saturn getting up to the 70 degrees zone later into the apparition!

Moonshane Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 great to see the rings' angle and they will look great a little later in the year - if only it was a bit higher! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 Thanks for the comments guys.I think I'll come back to this once in a while. It will make a change from always having Jupiter in my laptop if nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
