Saturn 16th sept 2023

[siatnite]

Images taken this morning in steady seeing, best ive seen Saturn for a while a strong cassini showing in the rings, but the proverbial cloud which have been a real problem at my location recently soon put a halt to session.

First image is in rrgb, second image rgb, C9 skyris 236 mono 1.5x Barlow. (si&nite)

Excellent images. It was really good last night. I was told by a friend that the night before was even better.

Very beautiful, I prefer the RGB group for the color balance.

They are a superb set of Saturn images Simon. The cassini is very well defined all around the rings. They have got a very clean smooth look about them, Excellently processed. (You have got your 9.25 purring)

Yes Martyn think the colimation was slightly out last time out but now got it bang on, still think the C11brings more to the table with that extra light grasp especially on a dim Saturn!

Heres a stacked Red ch 1500 stack from 6000 at 35fps from the 16th if the G & the B were better they would be banging lol!

Thats a cracking red channel Simon. I agree the C11 especially on Saturn does help bring that little bit more to the table ie, slightly faster frame rates focal length etc. But them C9.25's are certainly no slouches when it comes to imaging,
