Description

My intention last night was to start working on SGPro set up (auto focus, plate solve, etc) for DSO imaging having downloaded SGP in the past week, but I started by taking another look at Saturn and wow it looked the best I've seen it this year. Seeing was certainly good, so I grabbed one AVI each of RGB then IR, before the clouds rolled in - typical. I hung around hoping to get more IR and got one more somewhat inferior capture through whispy cloud and called it a wrap as Saturn was past the meridian and starting to lose altitude.

I never did get anything done in preparation for DSO...!!

With only a couple of IR runs one of which was not so sharp, I built the luminence from the 2xIR+R+G. One's gotta be creative in this hobby when the skies won't play their part....!!
