Description

Here is my work of Saturn taken with NIR and red filters. A color scheme of R=950~1058nm, G=758~850nm, B=625~685nm (Astrodon R filter) is used, with Saturn itself as the white balance reference. In NIR, Saturn's rings are relatively bright, so in the final image, the rings appear in a bright orange-red color.
