I was having issues with focusing as I was shooting across a busy highway and the traffic was stirring things up a bit.  

I was using my Celestron C8 EDGE  with a ZWO ASI178MC camera at f10.  I got the best results binning at 2x.  I used SharpCap 3.2 and took 30sec videos and processed in Registax6.  I then tweaked the final in Topaz.  I found out I can split the screen in Topaz and process Saturn separately, so this is might be better than my last effort

Hi alberio
Really nice detail in the planets, particularly considering how low on the horizon they where.

Thanks Ballard, you know those big guns are more affected by poor seeing than my little pistol, however it started to degrade quickly.
