Description

L-RGB image of Saturn a few days after opposition, near the zenith. The stack has 8000 frames for luminance at 60 fps in 280 seconds, and each color channel has 1000 frames at 15 fps in 90 seconds. The raw stacks were so sharp they only needed a slight wavelet processing. The background received an extra unsharpen mask to show the satellites Rhea, Tethys and Dione.

This is my first image where I can see the planet through the Cassini Division!
