Hi Milton,

I think the colours are indeed oversaturated in my haste to overcompensate with the luminance data overlay.  Thanks for the input and comments!

Hi Jim;

Very Nice. I haven't been able to do anything in months due to

horrible weather - and imaging beyond 1.6 meter focal length is

pointless due to turbulence. Now we are into fire season and high

altitude smoke is everywhere:

Not to criticize, but I think they are just a touch color over

saturated over the other saturn  images I have seen this year.

If you import the JPEG into Astro IIDC, try setting the "RGB

Saturation:" text field to -0.2 to -0.3 and see if you like it any

better.

It all depend son your eyes and how your monitor is calibrated - as

well as aesthetics too.

Thanks for sharing..
