Saturn 10th August with a Mak

[chiltonstar]

Saturn is looking a little clearer here as the heat haze seems to be improving a bit in these parts, although there are clouds of dust and wheat and barley chaff to contend with as the combines work to the E, S, and W of my garden.

Imaged around midnight at f15, 180 Mak, ADC and ASI220  colour camera, 3000/10000 frames.

A lot more banding if I over-sharpen some of the stacked AVIs, but it gets too noisy as the aperture is only 7" - I need a C14!

Yep I know the problem the more you sharpen the more noise we introduce.  I need a C14 me and you both😄
