With a bright full moon in the sky Dan and I decided to spend the night trying to better understand the society’s 20″ reflector. Getting the best out of it is definitely an art rather than science and the longer you spend with it the better you get to know it’s strange quirks and foibles.
After some time with the Orion nebula I put the webcam on with Televue x2.5 and took some 10fps videos of Saturn. The final one looked the best on the laptop so I stacked 400 of the best frames in Registax and applied a lot of sharpening.
The rings have noticibly opened since last year and as it climbs higher in the sky it should present a nice target later in the year.
