Saturn 20th April 2013

[astroman001]

We seem to have had a run of poor seeing when it has been clear recently. This is the first half decent Saturn I've managed, seeing was till poor.

RRGB , AS2! to stack, R6 to sharpen, WinJupos to colour combine, PS2 to finish off. I experemented with Surface Blur in PS2 which removed the mottling from stacking too few good frames.

Worth a play with, use low settings.

Very nice indeed Peter ....and someone who annotates his images - we need more like you

That's a very decent shot Peter. I agree, we have had a run of poor seeing for some time now so combined with the low elevation it makes for a tough target.

Hopefully things will change soon!!.

Regards,

Pete.

Hi Peter,yes the dreaded noise, it can be tricky processing saturn, especially as you say with too few frames. Nice first result
