Saturn! 21/22 july 2018
Hello again! :D Last weekend I wasn't catching any deep sky objects because of the Moon lighting the sky so much. I tried catching some closer things tho! the first one is Saturn - one of my favorite planets! I tried catching it in two configurations:
A - DSLR (Canon 1300d)>T-ring>Ir cut filter> barlow lense x2> telescope
B - phone (Samsung Galaxy S7)>6mm eyepiece>barlow lense x2> telescope
What I did is I recorded a short film and then ran it thru some programs to get the final picture. I did that because the atmosphere is very wavy, you can see distortions all over the place. However, from time to time there is a clear image for a split second that shows details of the object nicely, a frame that shows that moment is called lucky frame. Then I centered the object on all frames and converted the file into .avi with program called PIPP, then I stacked some of the best frames in another program called AutoStakkert!2 and then finally I adjusted wavelets in last program called registax. Quite a lot of processing... but the result is worth it! :D
On version A you can see colors better and on version B the planet looks 'more 3D'. If you look closely you can also see barely visible Cassini division, it's not as big as in telescope tho...
