Lovely set of images. Great colour and detail

[Freddie]

The 50:50 combo does it for me. Nice work.

[SnakeyJ]

Can't argue with those Stuart - excellent results and super level of detail coming through the luminance.

Out of interest how does exposure and gain settings vary between the Colour and Mono c/w red filter?

[theo]

I think these are your best yet Stuart. Very Nice work.

Yep the 50/50 combo is a cracker the hex is really well defined, I agree with Pete your best set yet I think Stuart!

[Space Cowboy]

Thanks for all your comments guys!

Jake the red mono was producing 91fps at 100% gain compared to 50fps with the colour cam though the sweet spot seemed to be 70% gain which was used for the red on the middle image when seeing was at its best.

I never expected to get images like this at 25 degrees but when seeing is good anything is possible.

A great trio of images Stuart!

[Trevor N]

Excellent images Stuart. Loads of detail. Trevor

[Naemeth]

Excellent, but for me the 50/50 is the best. The 1st one seems less sharp, followed by the 3rd. Seeing was clearly best at 21:46 UT

[Superdavo]

Amazing!

[Space Cowboy]

Thanks again guys! Here is the 21.41 UT image but using red mono as luminance. I was not going to post this as the noise level was very high needing heavy noise reduction. Personally I feel it looks un-natural though it is much sharper.

[astroman001]

Probably your best Saturn images. Quality.
