Another stunning image Carl. Loads of banding, 3 rings and Cassini all the way round!
Hope we get some clear while there's still some dark skies left.

A good image Carl,
There seems to be some sort of outline to the upper right of the rings and globe, there might be some bad frames included in the stacking which might have caused this. All the same, a grand image.

Well done Carl

Very sharp around the rings alright. I see the ghosting also but I think it is more of a histogram stretching effect.
