My first go at Saturn

[RogerMc]

Had my first go at Saturn last night (20th Apr 09) The image is 300 frames of a 600 frame AVI captured with a 8" SCT and DMK31. Seeing conditions here in SE London were fair with thin high clouds.

As I mostly image the sun and the moon its a whole new world for me to image something so small. Looks like I've go a lot to learn with planetary imaging so please feel free to suggest any improvements I can make given some of the fantastic Saturn images I've seen here makes me think there's a long way for me to go to get something better.

Best,

Roge.

Thanks for all your comments much appreciated. Some time I'm going to try RGB. Now that's going to be a challenge I'm sure.
