Hi,

Here's Saturn this morning at 26 degrees elevation. I thought the seeing was going to be better but there was quite a bit of shimmer unfortunately.

10 inch Meade SCT, Zwo asi224mc, Baader UV/IR cut filter, Zwo ADC. Unbarlowed.

60K images captured, best 10% used.

PIPP, AutoStekkert!3, Registax6.

Original image resized to 80%.

 

Clear skies,

Peter

Thats a very nice capture Peter. I am just wondering though,why you did'nt use a x2 barlow which would put you in the perfect resolution spot of 0.15pix.

Thanks! Seeing deteriorated as I was imaging - I did capture with a x1.5 and  then a X2 but the results were getting progressively worse -probably should have started with the x2 Barlow..

Some nice details visible, despite the conditions
