Saturn this evening - 22nd Jan 07

Last AVI of the bunch finally processed!
You just can't tire of looking at this planet!!
(even though I did spend something like 6 hours working processing this :shock: )





Again shot was taken with an
ETX125, SPC900 webcam, IR cut filter, 2xBarlow.
processed in Registax & Photoshop.

I reckon I'm pushing the limits of this little scope at this stage,
appart from moving to The Canaries.
Does anyone know would a 3xBarlow like a Televue apo make amy differrence? I'm not interested in a larger image at the loss of detail
and I'm worried the 3x might cause this?

That is sweet Frank!

I have a 3x achro barlow that I don't use any more (thanks to getting the powermate from DaveMcD). You can have it if you want. No point in me trying to sell it as I can't get rid of a couple of dust bunnies on it but it should be helpful to test your resolution.

I'm thinking of hitching a ride on the next Cassini type probe to get a pic like Woodwizards.

Hi Frank,
That's a grand image, there is a slight tinge of purple in there on the rings, that is easy to remove using photoshop.
Looking at that image, I think you would gain using a 3x barlow, I have one here in limerick, I'll bring it into the meeting next week so you can see what it looks like.
