Description

One good night, at least!

Seeing 2/5, sometimes better.

Good transparency. Lots of dew.

C11, f/25, ASI 174MM.

IR Baader filter 685 nm.

4 frames animation, 5000 frames movies, from 8:19 to 8:42 UTC.

The central storm is clearly visible, and some details along the Hexagon/NPR boundary, and bellow, with the NNTZ.

Heavy processing and a 300% blowup in PS5, using Topaz Labs InFocus and DeNoise, besides PixInsight.

Registax wavelets rendered a weird squarish NPZ, no matter what I tried. Strange.

Maybe the superposition of the planet border, plus shadow over the rings, plus rings, plus the Hexagon, made old Registax go wowoo...
