Saturn May 2nd Repro.

[Space Cowboy]

Seeing as the weather is a complete mess had another play with an IR Colour image from the 2nd. Quite pleased with the result considering it was taken at 22 degrees.

QHY Colour & mono Cams + 5x powermate & Auto Dob.

Absolute peach and very nIcely processed - winjupos on this?

[Space Cowboy]

Thanks, yes IR & Colour images combined in winjupos.

Very nice Stuart.

Good detail Stuart.

Cheers Simon & Alan! Just purchased a 3x tv barlow so will be interesting to see how it compares to the powermate. Also fitted a 6" USB laptop fan to the primary so now I can have a fan running during imaging for the first time. Fingers crossed the weather will improve before Saturn gets too small lol

Great great image, especially for "only" a 250 ! Amazing result Stuart

Hi Stuart, I've just seen the images from those guys in Tahiti - jaw-droppingly good.

Having said that, I can only praise the UK-based imagers on their skill to produce more than acceptable results given our atrocious weather.

Good effort considering the rubbish seeing we have had in the UK. Nice colours.

Hi Stuart, I saw your post on cn regards tv barlow, I think youve made a wise choice, mine performs every bit as good as my powemate 2.5 x & also my bresser 3x telextender!

[Space Cowboy]

Thanks again fellas! Totally agree Bud the southern hemisphere guys are knocking out some breath taking Saturns that we can only dream about.

Cheers Simon I will probably sell my 5x powermate along with the DFK but only after testing the QHY cams properly on Jupiter later this year.

That's a beauty, I haven't had much of a chance to get out lately with work & the weather so I'm praying for at least one clear weekend soon so I can go outside for a play.

Wow! I hadn't seen that before but just googled and found it on CN - http://www.cloudynights.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/5870095/Main/5861119

Think its time to sell up, emigrate and setup a small observatory

Gorgeous repro there Stuart. Really impressive that you've resolved the planets disc showing through the cassini division at the front. Love it!

[Space Cowboy]

Cheers!

Nice image indeed. I have never yet used winjupos. Must give it a go.
