Werisit Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Had a go at Saturn last week and it's taken me a while to process it, several attempts in fact, but I think this is as good as it gets. Scope = Altair Astro 130 EDT. Barlow = Celestron LX 2x Diagonal = Sky-Watcher flip mirror Mount = S-W HEQ5 Pro Camera = ZWO ASI 120MC-S SharpCap 2.5 Registax 5.1 Adobe Photoshop Paint Shop Pro The S-W flip mirror diagonal is proving quite useful for helping to find the subject and getting it close to focus. I still need to properly collimate it but my view of any of the current planets is limited as they appear and disappear between trees and houses so I have to just get on with it and not waste time messing with equipment. I wanted to try the 4x Image Mate but my house got in the way! 22_19_03expaned.cropped.wavelet.rgbalign by Alan Piggott, on Flickr M. and Johnnyaardvark 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAZ Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 That turned out nice. Pretty good considering how low it is. Is there a hint of the Enke division in the left hand side of the rings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werisit Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 Is there a hint of the Enke division in the left hand side of the rings? I was wondering about that myself. I'm glad you noticed something there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
