First Saturn shot of 2022

[chuckp]

I finally had a clear night to get out to image Saturn. I used the Celestron 9.25 Edge with a 2.5 Powermate and ASI224mc camera. I took 2000 frames and stacked 40%.

I reprocessed the images using less frames and I think the colors came out better.

Wow Chuck! I am so glad you finally had clear skies! I think of all of our Astro guys here, you do planets the best. So it's always great to see yours. And shooting planets is not something I will be able to do for a few years.

Have you been able to get any images of the sun recently?

Awesome capture of Saturn and perhaps even more impressive sun flares.

Great work! Amazing planetary images of Saturn - I do agree the second version with less frames actually does pop out the colors a little more.
