HI All,

Here is an image from the 3rd of April, i combined RGB + copied a red and used it as my L channel so i combined R+RGB, it's good to play around with the image and see what happens.

Carl - that's an impressive image but, dare I say it looks a little on the 'fuzzy' side? Perhaps it was the seeing?

And is the blue patch to the left a processing artifact?

Am I reading the details right - 120 seconds exposure total?

And where is Cassini? :wink:

Great detail Carl!! Like the lads said, you have certainly got the hang of the camera alright. Apart from what the lads have said, one **small** suggestion I would make is to crop the image so as to centre the planet in the image - would helps focus the eye a little by framing it better, especially as you've done all the hard work in capturing & processing the image.
Now that you've mastered Saturn, we'll be expecting a similar high standard with Jupiter! :wink:

Jupiter is massive in a camera compared to Saturn, Carl, we're all expecting big things with that planet :wink: :wink: :lol: although its low altitude is certainly a bummer :cry:
