Toucam Saturn and the Dancing Moons...

[Starman]

Sounds more like a cabaret act than an astro image

The moons were a long capture followed by a long processing run. Not ultimately sure it was worth it but at least that particular itch has now been scratched! It's presented as an animation and can be seen here (the gif is 600kb so give it a few seconds to load)...

That is a fantastic piece of work Pete. Also helps with understanding the movements of the various moons. Its come out really well, I should think you were chuffed with that.

Never realised that the moons would move so much in three hours (if I did the sums right).

That's taught me something - now that IS science.

Fabulous stuff!

I also didn't realize just how fast the orbit's of Saturns moon's were!

I shall be paying more attention in future .

Great images BTW.

Great animation and excellent image. My C8 doesn't catch the full extent of Cassini like that so it really shows the difference a couple of inches makes ! Move over Sid James.

Fnar, fnar!

I've added a final (yeah right!) version of my processed Saturn to the end of the webpage now. Some interesting detail in some of the stuff sitting on my laptop. I've just got to work out if it's real!
