A simple animation, back to back of 15 frames : Link

And some work done by fellow amateur astronomers on my french forum

Colorized LRGB by Ch. Perrier, mixing his color channels with my image as L layer

Amazing! You can even make out the hexagon at the North Pole!

[Grotemobile]

I had to look twice.The size of it.

Dont come much better than that.

Colour does look better, than the mono

picture.

Where's your telescope mounted? on a passing satellite??? I am well impressed! I captured Saturn on my 200P for the first time last week and was blown away.....This takes it to another level !

Nice work

Wow!

Stunning stunning stunning, not only the Enke ring but several others as well.

Have to say the B/W is better for me, the coloured version looks a little 'false' for some reason.

One of the best on SGL well done.

[Olorin]

stunning images, the animation really makes all the detail come out.

Amazing stuff Teva - Budski tipped me off to this so had already drooled over these shots on CN. Hope the weather stays clear and stable and you get plenty more capture on this.

Out of interest, whats a half acre of hill top going to set me back? Just thinking about changing my retirement plans!

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

Fabulous images, and neat animation. The polar hexagon is really clear

[Mr Bergman]

Wow! Amongst the best I've seen!
