Saturn with Fullerscope

[CraigT82]

Here's the Saturn I captured on Thursday night after Jupiter.  Seeing was possibly a little better during this capture, or it might just have been that the Cassini division made it a bit easier to find focus than on the low contrast Jovian disc.

Fullerscope with Altair GPCAM3 224c and APM 2.7x barlow. Baader L filter and IR685nm filter used.

I captured 12x1 min videos in IR followed by 12x1 min videos of colour, derotated the lot and added the IR to colour as luminance.

Cheers

Thats a lovely detailed image of saturn Craig. You have combined the IR to the colour data with just the right balance IMO. You can even make out the polar hex. Very Well Done.

Thanks for the comment! I've  just noticed some chromatic artifacts at the north pole... didn't notice that on the monitor, serves me right for processing in a bright sunlit room!

A reprocess to try to avoid the chromatic artifacts at rhe North pole. Not entirely sure whats causing it but its still there although much reduced
