My First Saturn Image of 2018
May 17, 2018 14:07:05 #
Seeing last night should have been great except for wind both surface and high level.
No clouds but we had a front pass through that had everything turbulent.
I imaged with my 11" SCT for 8 sessions and did not like the results and dropped to the 8" SCT.
I started off imaging Jupiter and had used an app that gave me the red spot transit times but for some reason last night they were off.
These images are from the 8" scope.
Celstron 236C color CMOS at 80 fps and stacked in Autostakkert2.
Jupiter same settings.

Great Images Jim!
I may have been partially responsible to the winds....
Things on my end can affect things on your end.
So breaking wind here, can have some profound effects there.
Sorrryyy....
So far, my brief attempts at Uranus result in Blobular results....
And I haven't taken a turn at Sa-turn.
Oh, I am so full of crap today! Stayed up too late last night.

That's some fine work Jim. They're as good as a 8" SCT can possibly get. Too bad the 11" didn't work out, were the shots just to washed out???

I couldn’t get a good focus but it didn’t help changing scopes.
I processed a few and they are on par with this shot so I could have continued.
Live and learn.

I wish I had used the 11” for the transits but it would have taken too long to cool.
Thanks Brian.

I really like the Io progression shots you did at your Flickr account.

Thank you Craig.
I wasn’t sure how well that was going to work out.

I think it took a trained eye to make it out.

How did you train your eyes to do that?
