Hello All,
I took this improved (over my last one) image of Saturn last night. Not the best seeing but had to try.

LX200 10" f6.3
Tou cam pro / 2x barlow
151 of 184 frames stacked and adjusted in Registax

Thanks for the previous help.

Clear Skies,
Tom Tolla

That's so much better than your first. Guess you found your problem didn't you? Nice shot too.

Major improvement! Good work. Looks like you've got the hang of this stuff.

Ah, the sweet image of success! Your on a roll now.

You certainly aren't kidding about poor seeing conditions (in general, not specific to the image). The Indiana region has been virtually all clouds since last week in October. Only two clear nights have been steady in that time period. All other clear nights (perhaps 5-7) had so much instability that focusing was impossible.

Nice one!

Now if you have good enough seeing, try taking off the f/6.3 and you can get a much larger image. Harder to aim, but worth the effort.
