First time out for me this year & managed a few runs on a fairly stable saturn, captures may have been better but moisture a real problem to be honest, the hair dryer was definitely on overtime!

Images taken with C9.25 skyris 236m at 1.5 x amplification. Thanks for looking.

Very nice start to your planetary season Simon! Some nice banding on the disk there.

Good to see you back in the saddle!

Cheers Bivanus, The software i use the most is AS!3 for stacking - Registax 6 wavelets - ps cs5 - astra image but not all the time in that order.

Second hand hairdryer lol!
