Saturn is getting rather low in the sky, and as a consequence, the planet is getting dimmer and blurrier. Tonight wasnt half bad however, as I was able to resolve the Cassini division nicely. The images are rather small tonight, because when I zoomed, I lost what little detail I got. I dont see the Serpent Storm in these images. Maybe someone with a good eye will see it. Saturn is a lot more difficult than Jupiter, thats for sure.
Here's what I got:
The 1st image was uncropped, and is the actual 640X480 stack. The 4th image I used a small amount of camera digital zoom.
The 1st image I used some color correction, the rest I did not use any.
All images were taken with the 127mm with the 3X barlow. Most used 1/10 sec shutter, with about 25% gain and 25% or so gamma. This is getting much harder to image. It will be one of my last Saturn images for the year, I imagine.
