First time Saturn

[Roy Batty]

As the moon was too bright for any worthwhile DSO stuff I decided to dust off the webcam and have a go at some planetary imaging. This is both the first time I've done any of this type of imaging and saturn was in a good position so I took the opportunity.

I was using K3CCD and got about a 5 Minute AVI - stuck this into registax and got a stack of about 1200 frames out of 1700 total for the final image.

OK I know its not very big but I only have a 2X barlow - all the same I'm happy with the result. Might do some more of this in the future if this is the kind of results I can get

cheers

Well please do some more Roy. This has turned out very well. It is a super looking image, and sitting lovely in that black sky.
