Saturn and it's dancing moons...

[whoops - forgot to post to s.a.a. last night - tiredness rules.
Apologies if you've seen this already elsewhere]

As the skies were clear and there was little wind last night, I
decided to have a go at taking a sequence of shots to animate Saturn's
moons. The capture went on longer than anticipated and I managed to
get a total of 34 frames, at approximately 5 minute intervals, between
midnight on the 4th and 3am on the 5th. Sequence has taken a few hours
to process - whether it was ultimately worth it I don't know ;-) I've
not got to deal with the heap of avi's of the planet I grabbed as
well. A quick processed result is also shown at the bottom of the
page.

Very nice

You have an almost 3d quality there.

I am waiting for a little more Lunar practice
and to get my barlow in order (Celestron Ulitma
with an extremely tight barrel) and then it's off
to Saturn with my C 8 from my backyard, and my
C 11 G 11 from out in the country.

They look like UFO's.
