mikeskor Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) This image was taken at 5:00 this morning, March 3, 2016. The image was derived from an AVI taken with a ZWO ASI224MC camera using Sharpcap, C9.25, 2X barlow and no IR cut filter. Processed with Autostakkert 2, Registax 6 and Photoshop with Topaz Labs denoise. 775 frames were taken, 30 % of these were stacked. Conditions included a lot of dew and seeing was only fair.

Pete Presland Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Nice end result especially for a smallish amount of frames to begin with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northernlight Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 lovely image mikeskor. So are you imaging at approx 5m focal length ? I'm interested as i'm toying with the idea of getting into solar system imaging. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterCPC Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Very nice image. What is the reason for not using an IR filter? Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeskor Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 Hi Peter: I didn't see any discernible difference between using an IR cut filter and not using it. Therefore I just thought of it as another layer of material through which the dim light needed to pass and a possible source of distortion. Hi Northernlight: I am imaging at 2350 mm. x 2 (with the barlow)= 470 cm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laudropb Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Very nice image. Lovely detail on the rings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bish Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Great image. Although Jupiter has more detail I think the rings make Saturn the most awe inspiring to observe or image 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
