Veeeery nice! Thanks for posting it. I first thought it was monochrome until I enlarged it. I kinda like the subtle coloration. My single-frame Saturn captures are generally pretty yellow so I'll bias the cyan channel a bit and reduce color saturation to clean the image up a bit. I'm only using a CanoScan 9000F (ArcSoft) proprietary software suite in my limited post-production endeavors.
Telescopes: Meade LX90 10-inch f/10 UHC Coma-free SCT; Explore Scientific 127mm f/7.5 APO ED triplet refractor; Explore Scientific 102mm f/7 APO ED triplet refractor; Explore Scientific 80mm f/6 APO ED triplet refractor; Skywatcher 72mm f/6 ED Schott doublet refractor; Meade 70mm f/5 APO quadruplet astrograph refractor; Skywatcher Quattro 8-inch f/4 Newtonian astrograph; Orion 6-inch f/4 Newtonian astrograph; Skywatcher SkyMax 180mm f/15 Maksutov; iOptron 150mm f/12 Maksutov; Orion f/9 Ritchey-Chretien RC astrograph
Eyepieces: Set of 7 Baader Hyperion eyepieces, 3 Meade 5000 glass handgrenades; 1970s era Japanese manufactured Meade 12.5mm Orthoscopic, and too many other eclectic eyepieces to list
Mounts: Skywatcher EQ6-R Pro mount; Orion Atlas EQ-G mount
Post-production Software: Not good enough … oh, okay ... Canon's proprietary CanoScan ArcSoft 9000F photoshop suite

thanks Hankmeister3, i normally boost up vibrance on my monitor i like the rich colors, but when processing captures i have to bring it down to 50%, that way i get a better look at what the real pic is, maybe that pic i did t bring up enough the saturation and maybe why it looks b/w, but yea a little color always looks better@@ )
