Saturn Friday 8th July C8 first light

[Mark1489]

I’ve been patiently waiting for Saturn to move into a spot where I can image it from my garden…early hours this morning with some good seeing conditions was the time! First light with the C8 too, looking forward to getting Jupiter next! 🙂 Constructive criticism welcome, I’m new to planetary imaging so looking forward to learning more! 
 

Celestron C8, zwo ADC, 2x Barlow, Altair 224c, best 40% of 21,000 frames

Excellent detail. You probably don't need so many frames, depends on seeing. I don't normally go more than 5000, more recently around 500-1000.

Thanks,I tried to balance the sharpening with the increased noise, seems to be one of the main aspects of processing these! I may have gone a bit overboard with the frames, I wasn’t really too sure at the time if the seeing was that good, so went for it just in case! 😂

Very nice capture and processing. Nice band colour and Cassini division almost all the way round.

Fab capture, lovely banding and colour on the globe, not much to criticise about that at all!

Excellent detail. Can't critise the photo at all. Job well done. Look forward to seeing Jupiter.
