Saturn 27/02

Set the alarm for 2.30, got up at 4!

All a bit rushed, seeing not great, also a bit gusty.

Still glad to get something down. First of the year for me...

Around 700 frames from 1200, X2 barlow, Tal 200k

Amazing image, looking forward to getting a descent lens to improve on my images.

Thanks for the kind comments peeps

I think that is definitely 100% 'no doubt here' storm top right

Cheers

Much better than my first effort Jon. Was this with the DMK? That storm is definitely visible. Shame it was gusty, I always find it difficult to focus in such conditions. If it was a touch sharper the image would be perfect.

Thanks Nick

Yes it was the DMK. I'm sure I'm capable of better if conditions allow

Hopefully I'll get another crack tomorrow....

Hi nice image, why only 1200 frames even at 1/15th secs, which a 8" scope should easily achieve thats about 5000 ish frames over 6 mins many more to capture good frames and beat seeing, no use limiting time at these scales, 6 mins would be fine at 1/15secs exposure. only if transparency is really bad would that exposure level not work. Defiantely the storm there

[rawhead]

I over slept and had to move the scope with no polar alignment. (I only get an hour to image between trees)

As a consequence the planet moved pretty swiftly out of the field of view...

That said, I didn't realise I could image for 6 mins

Still in Jupiter mode.

Thanks Neil.

Cheers
