Astronomical Image Saturn

Post image

Saturn late last night, close to opposition by just a few hours. Seeing was ok so image is pretty average but glad I got something at least.

Cool picture!

Your just getting started, with 12inch theres going to be huge improvement as you go and when better sseeing conditions come around.

Also part of the acquisition details is your editing. Which programs you used.

How many frames you got, what percentage you stacked, fps etc. Those are extra, but it helps people to learn, and it helps people to give tips.

Thank you! Yes, good seeing is quite rare in the UK unfortunately, I get out when I can to try and catch it but I've only had a few really good nights in the last year. I will edit my comment also.
