3 in 1

Three planets in one night, Venus, Saturn and Mars. 3x TV Barlow, IR filter & SKYnyx. All taken just after 8:30 in a blue sky.

Saturn 4th June 2010

The seeing wasn't good enough to push the magnification any higher. So here's a little'un taken with my 2.5x Powermate.

Venus & Saturn 22nd May 2010

A few B&W's from this afternoon/night.
The IR is a bit blown out, but it shows the cloud detail better, I'll work on it.

Saturn 25th April 2010

3 x TV barlow, IR and RGB filters.

Below; 5 x TV Powermate RGB.

Saturn 7th April 2010

Thought I'd use the DMK last night to capture as well as the SKYnyx.
3 x TV Barlow and filter wheel extension.

Saturn 4th April 2010

3 x TV Barlow and RRGB filters. Best 1000 frames from 2000, SKYnynx at max gain about 10FPS.
Size increased by 20%

Saturn 2006 to 2009

Here are my best Saturn's for the period of 2006 to 2009.

From an idea by Alan Friedman, and the Hubble space telescope.

Mimas Against the Rings & Enceladus.

Just spotted these on the Planetary Society Blog, amazing images.

Published; Two for the price of One.

I have two images in this months (August) "Astronomy Now" magazine.
One of Jupiter and the other is of Saturn taken a while back, in an article about the Toucam Pro.
You'll have to excuse the rubbish scans, but my scanner is rubbish.

Blast from the past.. well, last year.

Messing about with processing, so I thought I'd do my best Saturn from last year again.

Hotshot of the month - June Sky at Night magazine.

Big thank you to the people at "Sky at Night magazine" for the June Hotshot of the month, and the filters.

Saturn re-processed from 14th Feb 2009.

I thought that I'd have a go at re-processing my Saturn from Feb. with 1.5 x re-sampling in Registax 5.0 and a different colour balance in CS4.

Saturn 18th March 2009.

Above average seeing tonight, this is a quick process of more to come.

Saturn 15th March.

Saturn 10th March 2009.

Couldn't get very good colours tonight, very odd.
The seeing was average again.

Luminance channel.

Saturn 1st March 2009.

Another night of poor seeing, was clear though ;-)

Saturn Moon Rhea transit.

I've used an enhanced green filtered image as a luminance channel to bring out the Moon Rhea transit.
