Description

Imaged Saturn in OSC RGB and IR on the night of October 3, 2020. Sky conditions were good for my location with average seeing and good transparency. The RGB image was generated using a OSC camera and UV-IR cut filter. One of my better Saturn captures this year despite being a few months past opposition. This might be one of my last Saturn image of the year with Saturn passing behind trees in the backyard shortly after nightfall.

Imaged with a C8 Evo, ZWO ADC, Baader UV-IR Cut filter, and ZWO ASI224MC. Imaging train was configured to give me ~F/20. Image capture using Firecapture with gain set at 375 and an exposure of 17.5 ms. Stacking in AutoStakkert3 (best 15% of ~14,000 frames captured over 240 seconds). Color balancing and Wavelet sharpening in Registax6. De-rotated and combined 3 images in Winjupos.
