Astrophotography

Hi all,

An image of Saturn at 3 days post opposition in fair seeing. Eighteen (1,000 frame) SER videos were made; and the result is from 6 of those de-rotated in WinJuPos. Light clouds were intermittently partially obscuring the planet; so, I decided to keep the videos short. The transparency was so low, that even with the gain at 324, the camera was only shooting at 25 frames/second! Some additional details are below.

Wishing all of you clear skies!

Hey Joe,

Wow! I love the color detail differentiating the weather at various latitudes, not to mention the details in the rings!
