Saturn at opposition 14 August 2022

[Kon]

I did not expect to get any chance of observing and imaging Saturn at opposition. This is my attempt from this morning. Seeing was awful with high cloud and gusts of wind; it is also apparent in the colour image. This is more to record the opposition. In colour and in IR. 8" Dob, manual tracking, asi462mc with either UV/IR cut or IR pass filter, 2x barlow.

Nice results for such conditions. My attempt last night was scuppered by clouds and approaching rain, alas

Good images under bad conditions.  The IR image is much sharper. 

Which IR pass filter do you use? I have the Astronomik 742, but haven't used it so far this year.

Thanks. Both my filters are Svbony.
