I managed to capture Saturn along with my usually lunar adventure. Do I need more data ? I could not get the colors right to save my life.

I wouldn't have thought it was possible to get such a large image of Saturn from Earth. Do you know that there's an Astronomy section in UHH?

The Photo Analysis section is for photos with specific issues. You'll get more in the way of hard facts and less in the way of speculation in the Astronomy section.

"Telescope" John Dobson would be proud of you for your works.

If it's the camera that's skewing the colours, the first thing to try is a simple white balance adjustment (try both WB and Tint).

Thanks all and Saturn was taken with not even having a clue how to get it from a white blob to what you see . 130am and I'm not complaining and Yes , I did use white balance then tint to tone it down. I'll be collecting more data later this month when it moves into my fov and clears the trees. I was using a ND filter at first, then a yellow #82 and finally I just had to catch it with just the cam before it slipped into the trees again. A goto makes all the difference once you have a good PA.
