Description

I went out of my comfort zone on Saturday night to attempt Planetary imaging. This would be my first attempt at planetary imaging. Taken Saturday night from South Texas. Used the C11XLT with 533mc pro and 2x Televue Barlow. This was on the AM5 /TC40 tripod.
Videos were taken at 340p, 50-60fps, Exposure of 20ms, UV/IR cut filter. In total had nearly 65000 frames.
 Not the ideal setup. First time using PIPP/AutoStakkart and Registax. Lots of room for improvement.

Visually however through the eye piece, Saturn is absolutely breath taking. One of the best things to see with your own eyes through a telescope. Highly recommended!

Any feedback from Planetary folk is highly appreciated 👍
