Fresh Saturn...

This could be a mistake but the novelty is inviting me to try...
Saturn captured on my laptop and wirelessly sent to my website.
Colours look ok to me but then I am more or less (red laptop screen
permitting) dark adapted...

A bit dark and moody. Like a searchlight outside though! I've
adjusted the image curves now for a slightly better look. I still
have a bit of trouble with setting the colour balance with the Toucam
though.

Nice shot Pete, considering that you used a 4" !
You guys are lucky, here in Belgium we got clouds since few weeks, my second
hand C8 is ready I'm very impatient to use it on Saturn.
Saturn will be at the closest position since 29 years the 31st December!!
I can't wait...grrrr

Hi SeB - yes the weather's not been great in the UK either. A really
long period of cloud and gloom starting roughly at the time of the
eclipse. Last night was fantastic in that it was clear and still.
Seeing improved throughout the session marginally which helped the
imaging process.

Final version is now up on my homepage. I've combined two registax
runs (1500 frames + 1200 frames) with a bit of PhotoShop tweaking. As
you say - quite nice for a 4" ;-)
