New Image: Saturn and moons
From last night a quick grab of Saturn to get some moons. The thing was staring me in the face as it transited. So, luminance only, to lazy to put the color cam on in between DSO shooting and to lazy to take out the reducer, so at f6 2500mm efl. Got a couple more moons than expected with minimal data.
Specifics: Meade 16 LX200, stacked 12/30 Lum at 1/20 sec thru Atik 460ex mono. Composite of two processing paths, one stretching the crap out of it to dig out the moons and one trying not to clip the planet due to its brightness.
Clear skies,
Steve
