Saturn and its family

[MrEd]

Hi All

Just had to capture this after viewing it in the eyepiece.

I hope you find it as enigmatic as i did.

It was a beautiful site visually.

Tech stuff

Captured with the DMK at fl 3700mm.

Yes, very nice photo Ed. I was out viewing Saturn last night too. (I watched it for several minutes through my C8 SCT with binoviewers).

Your image does indeed do admirable justice to the beauty of the Planet and it's retinue.

A lovely image Ed, nicely processed and very easy on the eye.

[Brinders]

That's excellent Ed.

There are so many things of beauty to fill our eyes and minds.

I think we are a little more fortunate than most, being astronomers, and able to see sights like this. If not directly through our own means, then by Images like this, captured by others.

It is indeed a splendid spectacle, Saturn and some of her family.

Wonderful picture Ed.

I agree that's stunning!

Is that two sets of images combined? if not how did you manage to get the moons without over exposing Saturn?

Whatever you did it worked a treat!

[MrEd]

Many many thanks all of you.

Glad i could share the moment.

Ant

its a normal luminance an over exposed one and RGB.

LRGB combined in maxim and L2 combined with LRGB in photoshop.

(hope that makes sense)

Another cracking shot Ed.

The seeing was pretty good here on Wednesday night as well. I had a look at Saturn through my 12" Skyliner and it really was jaw dropping, the first time I've seen Saturn through this scope in good seeing

What were you using as a lum filter?

[Tim]

That's a superb image, just look at those moons strung out like that!

Thanks for posting Ed, I enjoyed this one.
