Well done Carl. Your best image of Saturn to date

Whoa!
Well done mate!
Thats a rockin image!

Is it my immagination or does that camera make things a little ' out of phase'
or just ...hard to describe...(not saying anything about your immage here carl)... but maybe ...2D almost?

Carl , actually....could you make the image a little smaller and cut and paste it inot a larger black background? just for the hell of it?
I think it would look WAY better!
(again...not taking from your brilliant capture)

A quick question Carl,
When imaging with this camera, did you find any difference when imaging at 30fps and 60fps, I'm just wondering is it worth going for those extra frames per second beyond 30.

Would the higher frame rate not mean darker images, and thus more of them required for the stacking? I mean, isn't it correct in saying that at a quicker frame rate, means sharper, albeit dimmer frames, therefore, you might need almost doble the amount of frames to get the same bright image that would have been achieved at a slower (half) frame rate? Am I making sense?

Yes, there comes a point where it becomes too faint to be usable as the signal to noise ratio goes bad, so you end up with a very grainy image.
What I'd like to find out is if the camera is capable at imaging with a big scopes such as Carls using a high focal ratio (3x barlows e.g.) and still have a bright enough image to work using 60 fps,. is the camera sensitive enough ?.
AND, if so, is there a noticeable difference between that situation and using 30fps in the image, pre and post processing, is the 60fps frame rate usable and worth the effort as many other cameras cannot run at that speed.
