Saturn and moons composite was created by jmckeon
This is an image I took of Saturn on June 9th. Its a composite of two exposures. One for the planet and another with much slower shutter speed for the moons.
Equipment used is an 8" SCT. The camera is an imaging source dbk21. Stacking was done in AS!2 and Registax. The moon and planet exposures were composited in photoshop.
