Description

Imaged Saturn for the first time this year on the night of June 22/23, 2019. Seeing conditions were ok as far as this year has been so far. I grabbed a series of UV-IR cut and IR685 pass filter captures at F/20. The IR-685 pass images turned out much better. I de-rotated and combined images from 4 captures to create this final image.

Imaged with a C8 Evo, custom Siebert 2x barlow, ZWO ADC, Baader UV-IR Cut/Baader IR 685 nm Pass filters, and ZWO ASI224MC. Imaging train was configured to give me ~F/20. Image capture using Firecapture with gain set at 375 and exposures ranging from 17.5 ms (UV-IR cut) to 30 ms (IR 685 nm Pass). Stacking in AutoStakkert3 (best 25% of ~8000 frames captured over 600 seconds). Color balancing and Wavelet sharpening in Registax6. Derotated images in WinJUPOS.
