Description

Imaged Saturn in OSC RGB and IR on the night of August 18, 2022 (August 19th in UTC) under average to good seeing and transparency.  This image was taken just a few days after opposition on August 14th. 

Imaged with a C8 Evo, ZWO ADC, Baader UV-IR Cut and 685nm IR pass filters, and ZWO ASI224MC. Imaging train was configured to give me ~F/20. Image capture using Firecapture with gain set at 350 and an exposure of 27.5 ms (for RGB using UV-IR cut filter) and 30 ms (for IR pass filter). Stacking in AutoStakkert3 (best 10% of ~10,000 frames captured over 240 seconds). Color balancing and Wavelet sharpening in Registax6. De-rotated and combined 3 images from each filter in Winjupos.
