June 23 Saturn

This is taken with a C9.25 + ASI120MC + 2.5x Powermate. Recorded in Firecapture 2.3 at 33 fps for 3 min. Stacked about 30% in AS2

Very nice image. The ASI120MC is a great planetary camera, by the results I keep seeing

Sweet !

have you tried longer runs of maybe 10 mins ?? and then use the de-rotation function in WinJupos ??

Very nice result! you should take longer videos, more frames will give you a smoother image.

I've made one record of 4min. Ran that thru Winjupos, but it was counter effective. Since I had the gain up high the blue channel was almost purely noise. And Winjupos separates the color channels after derotation. This made the image look worse than if I just simply loaded it into AS2. I will try with less focal length/longer exposure to battle the noise. Thanks for the idea though

Very nice image!

[Pete Presland]

cracking image, certainly getting the most out of the C9.25 + ASI120MC partnership!

Very nice image of Saturn, it must be fairly low for you as well?

Thanks for the complements guys. Yes it is pretty low up here. I am a bit of lucky though as I live on the fourth floor so I get to see it a bit higher.
