Saturn, 1-15

Here's a picture I took of Saturn on 1-15. I've processed this run literally dozens of times over the last few days, with different software and different settings. The combinations seem infinite, it's amazing how the same run can produce so many different results.

This is the sharpest I've gotten to date. My big breakthrough was having Astrostack restack on the result. The difference was just huge.

Am I seeing a hint of Enke in there, or is it just an artifact? I don't even know if a 6" scope can resolve such a fine detail.

Seeing was stable but hazy. Intes MK67, Powermate 2.5, SAC-IV, captured with Astrovideo, 450 frames as 1/10th sec. Stacked in Astrostack, procesed in Maxim and Photoshop.

Nice shot Garry... good detail captured.
You shot was just a little too dark, so I took the liberty to adjust ot a bit...

Keep it up, and thanks for sharing!
