Saturn with 127mm Mak 25.3.10 - 00.45am

[AztecastroMcJ]

got 2x90 sec avi's @10fps of Saturn last night (900 frame avi's)

this is quick result from slightly better avi

using 127mm mak with x2 barlow f/23.6

conditions were poor at time of capture, slight mist, thin cloud

fog was approaching

took at least 10minutes to be happy with focus and

to see any detail on laptop screen

then took at least another 10m messing around with capture settings

stacked 400/900 frames Reg5

and have try'd to be gentle with wavelet processing

1st large pic is 200% resize when clicked on

bottom left pic is capture colour and original 100% size

altho it is obviously overblue capture colour

think this bit better than my last 2 attempts which have been 2green and 2yellow before that

any comments welcome

James they are brilliant! I cannot get close to your quality on Saturn. Maybe i need to ditch my quickcam and get a SPC900NC.

Thats Neil Philips standard!

Wow, I'm jealous! This is amazing! This requires some skill from a webcam and clearly demonstrates that you do not need to break the bank to get excellent imagery.

Do you know how to nuke clouds (cheaply....)

Thats Neil Philips standard!

thx Stuart but i am nowhere near Neil's standards

this result has given me some encouragement tho

as conditions were far from ideal

thx again James

wow great images, just getting in to it myself, how do you mount a webcam on to the back of eyepiece's. the set up i use only allows me t0 place my sn9c102 on its own or in to a Barlow.

Nice one, well done.
