Description

Ahn... Well looks like I's not locating Mimas, because I's looking for it in the wrong place. New image, a little latter than the last one. Used 16-bit (in reality 12 bit) mode in FireCapture, with the Grasshopper. It gives a little more room for exposure and gain. Results show it. So there it was: little tinny Mimas, which I confused with Enceladus. Anyway, same optical setup as the last one, f/25 again. LRGB. The Big Hexagon is readily visible on top of the planet. Interesting to notice it is very prominent in IR 685 and R, almost invisible in G and B, pale in L. I made an Ir(685nm)RGB composite, not very pleasant to the eye. Still working on it. For the record, this time, no PS5 used...
