Description

Like with the Jupiter shot I took the same night, I had the BackYardEOS 5x button engaged while recording. For whatever reason, my frame rate dropped a bit to around 26 FPS. I recorded 6,000 frames so that works out to a bit under 4 minutes. I then stacked the best 25% (1,500 frames) and processed the result.

I was happy to retain a bit more of the "C" ring than I usually do during processing. It's so wispy that it often disappears when I'm adjusting other things.
