Subject: Re: [Astro_IIDC] Saturn of 2009

Thanks Alan, I was having trouble finding it before amongst all the other files. The RGB imaging & I suspect barlow, make a difference over my attempt on New Years day in Photos>Planetary Images. I still have a ways between my monitor & the scope (3 metres or so) which was making focusing difficult on such a small object (relatively) Mark.

The letter space may be the problem... Visit the Group files area:

and open the file directly:

the internet post Christmas-when 4 people here were using our 2GB

Hi Guys,

I couldn't see this on our site. I know the link has wrapped but even

copy'n'pasting didn't work :o[

Nice work Jim. Saturn is a really dim subject with my 10" - 8 would

be harder still. It is a beautiful sight to see the ring angle so

lean.

thanks for posting your image!

Well I finally gave Saturn a try because who knows when the sky  

will

be perfect around here. It's still quite small and faint for my C8

and I had to up the exposure to 120 ms when shooting through the  

RGB

filters.

Still neat ring configuration.
