Description

Imaged the conjunction of Saturn and our Moon on the night of July 16, 2019. Imaged Saturn up close (as I can get at least) using the C8 SCT, and captured the pair together using the GT81 refractor. This first image is of Saturn through the C8. Seeing conditions were average at best, so I imaged at F/10 through the SCT then drizzled 1.5x.

Imaged with a C8 Evo, ZWO ADC, Baader UV-IR Cut Moon & Skyglow filter, and ZWO ASI224MC. Imaging train was configured to give me ~F/10. Image capture using Firecapture with gain set at 350 and an exposure of 10 ms. Stacking in AutoStakkert3 (best 50% of ~30,000 frames captured over 300 seconds, Drizzled 1.5x). Color balancing and Wavelet sharpening in Registax6. Derotated image in WinJUPOS.
