Description

Saturn, 2014 05 09, 01:52 UTC, 65 deg altitude. High clouds obscuring everything, and the Moon to help. In spite of this, tried a high f number, stacking a Barlow over the Powermate 2,5x, leading to f/50, with a sampling of 0,17"/pixel for the Grasshopper 3.

Poor definition all over... G and B channels essentially useless, heavy processing resulting on this mediocre image.

No details in the atmosphere, the Big Hexagon is barely visible.

Some friends here in Brazil are reporting some kind of deformation on the sides of it, I could not resolve it enough for confirmation.

Mimas and Enceladus show up after a little PS5 magic...
