Saturn @ F40

I had a suprise clear night on Saturday, and being in-between on my set-up between an NP-101 and C-11, I only had my web camera available.

I have also just bought a 4x Televue Powermate that I wanted to try out. Thankfully the seeing turned to be ok. Saturn was the obvious target.

The shot is 604 frames of about 1,800, stacked in Registax. I used the diadic rather than the linear wavelet sharpening in Registax. When I moved to Photoshop, I increased the bit resolution by 4x so I had more granularity to work with when sharpening with a high-pass filter and slight blurring to soften the grain.

As always, comments and suggestions are welcomed.
