Saturn again

Posted By Ron Wodaski
Planets respond very well to unsharp masking, and sometimes deconvolution is worth a try. I'm a little leery of deconvolution because it can introduce artifacts if you aren't careful, but if you are careful with it you can follow it up with a light unsharp mask to finish up.

M45 with D60

Posted By Ron Wodaski
Very nice! Very good detail. Amazing what's being done with these cameras now. The D60 clearly raises the bar substantially.

Two Versions of Saturn

Posted By Ron Wodaski
Looks great either way. Both have good qualities. I prefer the sharper one - I don't think you've sharpened it too far.

Something to try when you have two images like this, both of which have positive qualities: try blending them. For example, a blend of 30% of the soft and 70% of the sharp might be interesting to try.

SBIG 2000 image.

Posted By Ron Wodaski
That's a very crisp field of view; scope and camera look to be a very good match.

I have a few ST-2000 images here:

NGC 891 - Canon D60 with C14 @ F7

Posted By Ron Wodaski
OK, that does it: I have now officially changed my opinion about what can be done with a digital camera. Fabulous shot - unthinkable, really, before the D60 came along.
