My First Saturn Image

#1

Post by Don Quixote »

I caught this along with Jupiter tonight.

Meade LXD 75 8
Nikon D810

The sky is about average, which is not very good for Planetary imaging, but I am a glutton for punishment.
So here it is......it's tiny ! :-)

Don’t stop trying to improve!

Just when you thought you had done the best that you can, a new process can really make an image pop!

Thanks,
