Last nights Saturn

[blinky]

This was taken with an Orion Optics 8" F5, a ToUCam with a 3X TV Barlow. It is 243 images stacked from a total of 245. I am quite pleased with it, but I am sure you guys can do better than me!

Here is the Original image:

I then ran it through NeatImage and played about with PhotoshopCS:

OK I have restacked again. This is the image without editing the wavelets etc. Can somebody see what they can do with it? I cannot seem to get a good image

tried Blinky , but there is something wrong somewhere with the image , the alignment seems out to me , were all the avi of good quality , if not and you had a few bad ones in there it could render the final stacking useless , just alittle tip when doing Saturn , i always say ,if you cant see cassini plainly ,then dont bother , but beside that , you must set a % for the avi frames , i use around 75 to 80 % , then i know anything above that quality should produce an accepatable image ,

Cheers

Rog ,

this was my first ever Saturn taken about 4 years ago , infact my first image ,as i started off with Planets,Toucam pro 2 with ir blocker

I have never seen the Cassini division either with the ToUCam or looking through the scope! I thought it was rare to see it?

nope not hard at.all Blinky, good seeing will always show it, you prob mean the Encke gap , now that is rare indeed,
