Saturn, in Infrared.

[Brenner]

Image of the Polar Hurricane in Saturn, registred with Infrared Pass filter. With this technique the hurricane is more visible. The original Red image is converted in BW.

Excellent work there. Well done indeed ?

[laudropb]

Very nice capture.

[johnfosteruk]

That's a terrific image, well done.

Lovely capture. The Crepe Ring is showing very nicely in that shot

[Rodd]

Beautiful--the hexagonal polar cap is visible, and the Cassini division line does not blur the rim of the planet--impressive.

[Saganite]

Superb image, well done.

I just acquired a 850 pass filter with the ZW0 224. I have a Skywatcher Mak Newt 190mm 1000mm, Televue Powermate 4x.....Good to know I can get such a nice image. But will my filter actually give me a similar image to the filter you used...must wait until Spring again to know...maybe you could give me some insight o this.

Nice one indeed

Did original image appear blood red whilst you capturing raw video? I could not work out how you focus using ir pass with color cam?

[astroavani]

Star Jane! I think your filter has a very high cut for so little opening. The image will be extremely dark, which will force you to raise the gain to a prohibitive level and generate a lot of noise.
For your case I advise the same filter used by my colleague Brener Damasceno, an IR Pass 685nm or better yet a 610nm Long Pass.

[astroavani]

Yes colleague Resonator77, the captured image is a deep red but you can activate the debayer option leaving it in black and white during capture. This helps increase the speed of data transfer as well as facilitates viewing.
The ASI 224 camera despite being color has a very great sensitivity in red and infrared so it is also a great camera for captures at that wavelength.

An excellent Saturn image, fine detail in the rings and on the disc.
