Saturn 2 Aug 2018
A change of tactics for my latest image of Saturn. Rather than using my usual colour camera, I used a mono camera and filter wheel to capture each of the colour channels separately. While this is a little more time consuming, and I still have a lot I could improve on, I think the results are already noticeably better than my previous attempts.
This image was captured using a Sky-Watcher SkyMax 180 Pro telescope and an Altair GPCam 290M mono camera with a ZWO Mini Electronic Filter Wheel and Astronomik Filters (Luminance, Red, Green and Blue). It is the result of 3000 frames for each channel, captured using Firecapture. Each channel was separately stacked in AutoStakkert2 and pre-processed using Registax 6. The channels were then aligned using WinJUPOS before being combined and processed using PhotoShop CC.
