Description

This was my last planetary shot of 2019 and it turned out better than I thought. Saturn was getting low(er) by October 8th, but the ZWO ADC really helps. The ADC was set at 0.75 divisions for Saturn. I was glad to be able to catch Saturn's hexagonal jet stream near the north pole.

This was a really long capture: 5 min and 30 seconds to get 5,000 frames. I stacked the best 25% which comes out to 1,250 frames.

Gain = 287

Exposure = 66.08 sec

FPS average = 16 (way slow....)

Thanks for looking!
