A great picture. I am a neophyte still and just beginning stacking. This motivates me to improve my stacking skills.

Re: Saturn from last night
Nice capture of Saturn Andy. And with an 80mm OTA - not bad. Don't know what frame rates you are getting with your camera, but I always go for 20,000+ frames and then only keep the top 20% or so.

Re: Saturn from last night
Hi Andy. Nice work with your Saturn image. And the second version is sharper. I like the planet color and ring system in your captures. Thanks for putting these up on here for us to enjoy Andy, and the best of wishes for clear skies.
