Saturn 7th Aug 20

[si@nite]

Conditions were poor last night, Jupiter was like a jumping jellyfish 😆 but Saturn a little better! Captured with a C9 & skyris 236 m x1.5 amplification!

Heres few different renditions of the ringed planet! Thanks for looking!

Superb, I like the subtle differences.

Very nice, did you use the IR data as the L for the LRGB?

These are very good and well presented images of Saturn Sime. I know the conditions were poor last night so very well captured and processed.

Nice images. 👍🏻

Yes I found despite all the reports here on SGL about last nights perfect seeing conditions here in Derby seeing was very poor and views of Jupiter were disapointing but did find views of Saturn were much better.

Yes Craig, something im not always keen on doing, the colour balance is far to way out for my liking, but theres a place for it, much prefer red lum or other combinations, rrgb works very well on Mars ive found & had good results in the past!

Cheers Martyn you were out last night too so looks like you hit similar condition!

Thanks also John in derby you struggled with it too! Just shows how the seeing is so diverse in different parts of the uk!

A fine set of images, not an easy target in good seeing down at that altitude.
