Itty Bitty Saturn

Alberio, you got me wondering about my Tamron Lens. I have used it for the Orion Nebula with nice results but haven't really tried it with Saturn.
Here goes.
I shot this one with a Canon 7D Mark II and a Tamron 150-600 lens as well.
f/:14 1/400 second and ISO 8000.
IS was on and I rested the lens on top of fence for stability.
This is uncropped but if you download and click you will see that I also have a few hot pixels popping in.
I did very little processing mainly converted to JPG and added one click of contrast to the blend using Canon Photo Pro 4.0.
I've been very happy with this lens as Sonny can attest to.
Take a peek at this post, it may give you ideas.

Nice, and your link brought me to what I want to try. Deep space objects. M51 with only 8 frames, really nice. I would be curious to see if you could reduce some of the sky glow. That would make it pop. Your focus seems really good to me. Thanks for the post.

Just Saturn and the rings.
Decent shape to rings using a 600mm telephoto lens.
Not enough pull to see the casini division but pretty solid shot.

I see the hot pixels. Do you have Lightroom? If you do, load the original into Lightroom and then generate a JPEG. You should find the hot pixels have been removed. DxO Photolab can remove them too.

If you have two hot pixels adjacent to each other, I find that it doesn't remove them.
