I generally image with two Rigs at a time. One wide field and the other a more narrow FOV. This night I was imaging with a RASA 8 on one Kit and the Edge SCT 8 inch with 2x Tele Vue and ASI224MC camera on the other Of course the later was to capture AVI files of Saturn. On a whim and before I begin imaging the RASA on LDN1235 I put the scope on Saturn and took a wide field view of Saturn and its starfield ....just 10, 10 second images. I then tried to use a little math to rez up the image to reflect the scale of Saturn in the finished image. Then I used Photoshop to blend the star field into the image. I do know that the rotation of Saturn relative to the star field is off but.......the fun was in the trying! ...and playing with my backyard toys!

For Saturn - I took 10 AVIs each 3000 frames (30,000 total) ....I used Castrator to crop/align videos, then Autostakkert to stack into tiff files. I kept 15 percent of the frames in Autostakkert. In Registax I applied wavelets, Auto Color and Gamma (curves). From there I used Winjupos to De Rotate the 10 files into one Image. That image was then taken into photoshop for further processing and compositing.

Considering the poor "seeing" conditions and wind, "lucky imaging" was the ONLY reason that there is a usable Saturn.

...and as my hero Bugs Funny would say, "That's All Folks"!

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
