Default Saturn from Last Week
I caught a couple nights of above average seeing last week, and captured a few image sequences of Saturn. The image below is from a combo of a few of the sequences. There are a few moons in there, but hopelessly dim to bring out w/o stretching the planet excessively.

Nice work Robert. I find the colour a tad towards the green end, mainly on the rings, but the globe is nice for the conditions.

Appreciate the comments

Saturn hasn't been very forgiving this year, I've seen only one or two really good photos. Sure will be nice to start seeing photos of other planets as we move into the year.

Very nice shot Robert. I will have to try my next shots with at least a 2X barlow attached.

Now I see what I have to shoot for.

Thanks,

Celstar (Joe)
