Saturn Transit of Beehive Cluster M44 - Winter 05-06

the only reason that they are at different angles is probably due to where I had the camera pointed at each set up, or the way I put them on myself. Nothing to do with the planet though, it actually looks like it's wobbling
Keith..

ah yes, I get you now.

Nicely done Keith!

Nice shot keith, was it difficult to align the shot each time?

This is the problem Dave Grennan and I have been discusing, how to realign an object accuratley so you can take stackable images over several nights.

Jed.

Thanks Jed

was it difficult to align the shot each time?

You bet, all done by eye through the viewfinder in the camera itself :!:

I could see 2 magnitude 4 stars through that, and I tried to line them up in the same position everytime, not easy though.

You could try using an astropier?? Just guessing, It would be quite hard to do.

Keith..

bloody hell Keith!!! Thats an awesome shot. Really shows off the dynamicness of the solar system!!

Well done!

Just wondering why saturn appears in different colurs in each frame?
