Saturn

[Starwiz]

My first attempt at a planet for 3 years.

Captured a few nights ago between breaks in the clouds.

This was a bit of an experiment, using my ASI1600mm-Pro and filter wheel mounted directly onto my SW200p.

I was impressed with the download speed compared to my ASI120mc which is only USB2.

The individual RGB images looked a bit pixelated, so I'm going to try it with the 2x Barlow that I have next time. 

Still, pleased to have captured the Cassini Division and some surface detail.

Looking good! Have you tried the 1600 on the moon? The big chip should create stunningly large lunar surface images

No I haven't yet, but you've tempted me to have a go.

Not only are the details on the planet and in the rings impressive but you've managed to get the shadow of the planet on the rings!

I'll just clicking away with my Canon, and dream!

Like I once did with my Canon.  😀

I hadn't noticed the shadow on the rings, thanks for pointing it out.
