Hi Folks;

I just finished updating my Astro web site with some new images:

http://www.outcastsoft.com/AstroImages/AstroIndex.html

I had one night of really variable but fairly good seeing on May 1st and managed to take a decent shot of Saturn (my best for 2009):

This saturn shot was taken in 2x2 binned mode for each LRGB filtered exposure so I could run at higher frame rates (33.33 ms with low gains for Luma). At normal 1x1, I got too much turbulence and ghosting on the edges, so this allowed me to run at 30 fps and 5 meter focal lengths. The RGB filters were run at 66.57 ms exposures in 2x2 binned mode.

I also put together some fairly decent mosaics of the North lunar pole :

and South Lunar Pole areas too:

from the same night.

Enjoy the images..
