Saturn RGB 07/08/23

[morimarty]

First time out imaging in what must be a year or so for me. ( It did feel great to be back out there again.)

I managed to capture a rgb image of Saturn as there were moments of steady seeing despite it being quite breezy and a lot of condensation in the air.

C11. Baader RGB filters . Asi290mm . 1.5x barlow. Processed in Reg6. AA5. Cs6. images resampled 125%

Nice work 👍🏻

very nice clean & well defined Martyn looks like you had similar battles with moisture too!

That’s a great set of images 👍

Excellent images and so sharp Cassini division. Are these single captures or combined captures and derotated?

[knobby]

Very nice 👍🏻

These are phenominal images for the UK. Cassini can be seen across the front and there is clearly a spot visible on the disk.

Hi Kon these were single combined captures, the best 2000frames of 8000 per channel with lots of smoothing sharpening and layers in Cs6.

I missed you used RGB filters. Even more impressive as it needs consistent good seeing to get sharp images.

 

Like Stuart said, the best I have seen from UK.

Thought I would post these images of Saturn with IR added in the mix. I know it's not every ones cup of tea. I personally dont think it as brought anything new to the table as the Asi290 is already sensitive in IR.

Only thing I can add is, oh yeah!

The IR seems to add a certain glow to the images and an almost three-dimensional quality. I love them!

You've done well Martyn getting the Cassini at the front especially in color is a sure sign of good capture

Way to go

Fabulous set of images, a very high level of detail visible, excellent quality work!
