Saturn 22nd may

[t_ilan_s]

Hi all,

The seeing was extremely good, and I used a software to capture the video, which make the capture much easier.

Took 6000 frames, 3000 stacked at AS!2, wavelet in Registax and final touches in PS.

Titan is visible as well!

Lovely. Did you use your barlows or the powermate?

[t_ilan_s]

Thanks, used only the powermate.

[MYLUCKYSTARS]

Nice, photo. I hoping to get my first ever view of Saturn tonight.

[t_ilan_s]

Good luck.

Very nice capture again - most envious of that good seeing, but stunning detail for 8" @ 5m focal length.

[emilf]

Wow ,very nice !

Wonderful pictures, you captured at f/25 ?

[DrRobin]

A very nice image, well captured. I wish you would send some of that nice seeing our way.

Wonderful.

What camera did you use for capture?

[t_ilan_s]

Thanks again guys,

I used canon 600D.

[JamesF]

I missed these when you first posted them. They're lovely images.

Very sharp images and especailly good for a DSLR!

[t_ilan_s]

Many thanks James and Stuart,

I'm starting to think that a DSLR is actually pretty good for planetary imaging with the right software.

[Ewan]

Great images you managed, what resolution & frame rate did you use on the 600d ?

[Olorin]

BTW Ilan did you use BackyardEOS for capturing?

[SnakeyJ]

Ilan - simply stunning result in these images - nice to see what you can do with the 200P in good seeing at fl 5m and obviously the 600d is more than up to the challenge for imaging (except for some excellent lunar images, I don't think I've seen much other planetary imaging with DSLR).

The most I've managed so far is fl 3m with my 200P - lets hope the astro gods can offer us all some better seeing before the month is out

[SeedyF]

Wow - great images. I might move to Israel

[t_ilan_s]

Thanks again everyone!

Great images you managed, what resolution & frame rate did you use on the 600d ?

The frame rate was 28 and the resolution was 848х560.

BTW Ilan did you use BackyardEOS for capturing?

I used EOS camera movie record, it's a free software and really easy to use, BackyardEOS was too slow for me - the FPS was 5!

[Michael_E]

Those images are superb Ilan. Amazingly sharp. Makes my SPC900 look poor in comparison.

If I ever go for a DSLR I'll know who to ask for help.
