very nice image. It looks like you have your saturation sat at -86. Just a thought you may want to put that back to zero might help a bit, and drop the brightness a touch.

Nice to see I think we're going to have to work hard at Saturn this apparition.

I did try with various settings for the brightness and saturation, but it just was not happening - actually this is the best Saturn I've managed in 2013 so far. I will wait till the summer to try again...these early mornings are a killer.

Nice early capture of the great ringed planet. A sight that always impresses.
