Widefield Saturn...... eye piece view ' lookalike'?

[Cloudwatcher]

I used Saturn as a focussing aid last night and this time kept the images to play with as a couple were close to what I was seeing through the eyepiece. Anyway, I combined a 15 sec and a 13 sec exposure for the background and two 1/25 sec images of Saturn,all at ISO 400, into one frame.

Anyone else think it's quite 'eyepiece-ish' in appearance?

Yes indeed CW, that looks realistic enough to me.

It would be great if we had the ability to capture these with sensors hooked up from our optic nerves, and feed the

data straight to a chip, instead of the need to manufacture the view.

Nice job though buddy, that sort of image serves a useful purpose.

Nicely done indeed. 8)

Sounds a bit too much like The Borg to me,Ron. Think I'll stick with the Mk.1 eyeball. Unless of course it's free at the point of treatment under the NHS!

Anyway, I think you would still see something like this........ (the 25 sec exposure for the moons)

That, CW, is bang on, I reckon it looks just like that in the eyepiece - a 25mm on my 8" Newt would be about right. Very nice image!

That's a good idea CW, we rarely see anything like this captured.

Ron, I forgot to include this other image with my post of 1st April!

That's improved me no end CW. You're a real cool dude with the clone tool.
