Saturn 3-5-14

[knobby]

Had a crack at Saturn, only just clears the houses now so pretty jumpy on screen.

Best 80% of 5000 frames through pipp, then stacked in Autostakkert 40% and wavelets in registax 5

f10 no barlow

nice image and some detail inc the split
I'm afraid its too low in the sky for me to image now up here at 55 deg
its always in the line of sight of my local motorway lamps which makes it even harder to image

[knobby]

Cheers... I can just see it above the roofs :-). Its come out a weird colour on my phone, looks OK on the PC though

[Saganite]

Thats a cracking image!

I had some pretty good views of the planet though,in amongst all the turbulence,

which got very bad around 1am.

I've got another 3 runs going through pipp now, but I need sleep :-)

[Saganite]

Likewise

not been out for 3 days and was Gigging tonight so work had to come first
though its been cloudy most of the night so no big loss and I actually made money which will no doubt be spent on Astro gear

[Saganite]

what else!  

[SunBear]

Very nice!

[Barv]

Very well done Knobby. Seeing was appalling here. I got set up to have another stab at Mars and it was that bad I packed up again! 

[knobby]

Thanks Barv, it was challenging...

Very nice image, Saturn is just so tricky this time around.

[knobby]

Thanks Alan

[PeterCPC]

That looks a lot better than my attempt from last night. I might try again with your work flow. It'll be interesting to see the difference.

Tried a softer approach with the wavelets on the remaining captures, a bit more natural looking but not as sharp

[sologuitarist61]

That has come out well!

[knobby]

That has come out well!

thankyou :-)

i like the original better with the extra detail, not that the 2nd is bad either. a cassini div and some pleasing banding, like has been said many times a tough target anytime but even tougher at the moment.
