Saturn 21/12/2003

Hello Antonios,

Very detailed Saturn with several cloud bands
on the globe.
Those Tak Mewlon's are great planetary scopes, I may
be purchasing a Mewlon 250 my self in the near future.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Hi Ralph,

Wow! an extend range light saber, I wonder if you
had lowered it some if it would have cut the tops
off of those trees :>)

Thanks

Hi Jose,

As usual very good! image, IMHO this image looks better
than the enlarged version of your image that Rolando posted.

Thanks,

Hi Mark,

For a first image that is very good , if you keep at it and
get your planet images on par with your DSO images you
will put us all to shame :>)

Thanks,

Saturn on Boxing Day

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi Alan,

Beautiful! Saturn , your processing 10 different AVI's
aligned on different parts of Saturn is interesting ,
I had thought of doing this on Jupiter when a Moon
transits along with the GRS and having at least two AVI's
and aligning one the MOON and the other on the GRS and then combine them.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Questing Regarding Saturn Image

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Jim,

You are seeing the globe of Saturn showing through
the Cassini division , very nice image!

Thanks,

Wes Higgins





I have attached an image of Saturn that I took on December 28th, 2003 with a Celestron 9.25 and a Phillips Toucam. My question is:

Why does the Casinni Division seem to be lighter and faded at the front of the planet? I have also noticed this on many other images of Saturn.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins Space Station photo

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi Kim,

Thanks!

It is a single image shot at prime focus (no barlow),
the Toucam alone is equivalent to about a 4mm eyepiece
in power and in my scope that is 392x, at that power I think visually with my hand tracking the ISS would zoom through the field of view to quick to make anything out.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins


Perhaps everyone else has seen Wes's view of the ISS posted on the cloudy nights astrophotography forum. If not, take a look at www.cloudynights.com. Wes, this is a single frame shot through your 14.5" starmaster with the ToUcam Pro? Great snakes! What does the ISS look like visually through your scope? I have never tried looking at it at high mag with mine. Thanks for this image!
