Definitely the last Saturn 2015.07.09

Definitely the last Saturn of the season.... maybe  Been tough all year and pretty tough to get much this time, considering barely dark and such a short window between two rows of conifers. Not really time or conditions for RGB's so just a mono image this time.

Taken with C9.25/ASI120mm + IR742 pro planet filter. 4,000 frames stacked in Reg6 and lightly processed in Photoshop. Quite pleased considering the challenges.

Well done Pete, almost got it while waiting for Pluto last night but clouded over just as it appeared, also from behind conifers

Nice image. I have hardly managed to view it all summer because of poor conditions here

Very good. What do U think is the

max amount of frames, U should take.

I have been taking, 20 to 25 k worth

of frames on Saturn . Using about 15%.

I think time is probably the best way to look at it rather than frames, i believe 6 minutes is around the optimum amount. I guess if you are using WINJUPOS as well to derotate you may well get longer, i have never myself quite got to grips with it yet.

A nice effort Pete well done for getting out there, ive give up this this time around with Saturn, its difficult from my location too because of trees!

I had about an window between the 2 rows of conifers unfortunately it wasn't really dark still by the time it hit the 2nd row.
