Saturn another from the 6th

[si@nite]

Been trying to extract a little more detail from my images taken on the 6th, this image was the result of stacking far less frames than I usualy do, its a little noisy but shows some nice detail on the globe, probably my best effort this apparition! Thanks for looking!

You've got the data Simon. Simply use the red channel you have as luminance in de-rotation of RGB in winjupos.

Think I could live with noise levels like that What a peach! That's certainly one of the best images of Saturn from UK skies, I've seen posted here for this aperture and year.

Lovely shot Simon. Definitely worth experimenting with good data to try for that extra bit of detail.

Thanks Dror I try to keep my processing as natural as I can but sometimes have to come out of my comfort zone, especially with Saturn being at a low alt!
