Saturn 10-06-2015

Saturn is jumping from house roof to house roof these day in the UK latitudes. I managed to capture 5000 frames last night using the CPC800 w/wedge, QHY5L-II C; and processed these with PIPP (kept 25%), Autostakkert2! with Drizzle 30 and a little PS. Can I make it better?

I think the C8 is delivering good here but could argue that better collimation would make it better. However, my star tests are 'good' at 200x. For the general UK conditions yesterday I think this is good? Tomorrow we have thunderstorms...so, everything will go back inside.

Saturn is a tough target this year, so well done getting a nice image.

Nicely done.

Given the low altitude I thing you did well. You could perhaps use RGB align in Registax to remove atmospheric refraction

Another try while we wait for the thunderstorms...Only processed using Registax and PS.
