Description

A very clear night with a very slow jet stream of 1 m/s but a big temp difference of 0.8K/100 m, according to meteoblue. Thought I´d give  this big gas giant another chance. It was at its max elevation of 31 degrees.  Decreased the ROI to 488 x 488  in Sharpcap and the big old Dobson mount managed to keep nice and steady for 5 min.  Stacked and and sharpened 50% (15,000 frames)  in AS and RS. and then sharpened and denoised in PS. 

I just read that Saturn is named after the Roman god of wealth and agriculture, so perhaps this is a good omen for my retirement fund and good my orchard!  I am still not sure about choosing the exact color balance for Saturn.
