1st Barlowed Saturn

[Kai]

Taken last night.Its the first time i have used a barlow for imaging,i dont know how the standard celestron barlow rates but anyway i was using it for experiance.

Looks good to me. Is that a single frame? If so it's great.

It's still a good picture, and for a first attempt with a barlow, well you should be chuffed.

Super image, you got stripes, the rings, the Cassini, what more do you want for a first go?

It's loads better than mine so far. You did really well.

Just for your followers, what did you use for a 'scope? i.e. what focal length / aperture and stuff. Some of us want to copy off you as what you are doing seems to work really well.

Excellent image Kai. there is some tremendous detail and you have definitely have a better image from using the barlow.

I'm interested in knowing if you used the sliders in the wavelets section. Registax tends to produce a rather fuzzy image which sharpens up and brings out loads of detail with judicious use of the wavelets. You can make out banding detail on the disc but you could do with a bit more colour. Perhaps you could turn up the saturation a little with your next capture. These are minor details to look at, the underlying message is that you have produced a corker of a pic

To answer your question about wavelets.

I do use the wavlets but try to be careful not to over "slide" them as i find it pixelates the image.When i was capturing the image it looked so blurry,faint on the laptop that i was surprised to get any detail at all.

Next chance i get to go outside i will try to get some more colour .

Looking forward to your next image Kai, could be a stunner
