Description

The seeing was so great I took my first crack at Saturn.

Workflow:

The tracking was done manually with slow-motion controls and the camera was in 1920x1080 mode with 3x digital zoom. The digital zoom mode increases resolution on a smaller section of the sensor allowing better detail when stacked. (Normal video mode skips pixels on the sensor to maintain framerate. Reducing the resolution to the center effectively increases pixel density when in video mode)

6 minutes of video boiled down to 1200 good frames with PIPP and stacked in Autostakkert. Sharpened in Registax and then final touchest with Topaz DeNoise and GIMP.
