Saturn, March 21st

[Starman]

This one gave me lots of grief due to the fact that the transparency was really poor during the capture period. I performed one set at a shorter focal length and this one at f/45. Despite having to do the f/45 capture at 8fps per channel (blue was a struggle!!) I prefer the results from the longer focal length. The shadow of the rings on the globe is now such that it sits directly behind the rings, giving the impression that the rings have a dark outline, traced against Saturn.

Rather stunning Starman, especially the 75% image, just nails it eh?

Very nice images, I had a similar problem with blue the other evening, very trying to say the least.
