Description

This is the best composite I have been able to get so far. Saturn is noticeably lower in the sky as compared to 3 weeks ago, and I have noticed a lot of boiling on the screen (even on good seeing nights). Huge thanks again to Mitch Robbins for the detailed advice on processing.

Registax did a better job on the stacking than AS2. Used 5 ap's (4 on Cassini Division and 1 on planet's cloudband). Registax also used for some color balancing. PI used for level adjustment and saturation.

L: Gain = 62, Shutter = 29.33, 1533 frames stacked (best 50% of total gathered).

R: Gain = 75, Shutter = 29.25, 1538 frames stacked (best 50% of total gathered).

G: Gain = 75, Shutter = 29.58, 1521 frames stacked (best 50% of total gathered).

B: Gain = 75, Shutter = 29.62.64, 723 frames stacked (best 50% of total gathered).
