An image worth freezing my *** off for

[pursuer]

I just had to share this one, my best planetary image yet.

Looks a bit hard cut around the rings but the cloud detail is awsome!:thumbup: The seeing must have been really good especially with the moon still out! Great shot! I can't wait till the end of this month & clear skies! I might even be tempted to get myself a ToUcam just for planetary stuff!


Great job!:hail:

ubelievable! Is that real!?!?! AWESOME!

 

[Chiller]

That is just holy amazing. Very nice!!!

 

[pursuer]

Thanks guys, ShutteredEye it is definitely real, captured by me in my backyard

PlasticSpanner your right about the processing, I don't know why I bother processing images when Im tired, I always do a better job in the morning. If you get a toucam you won't regret it, my next purchase is going to be a 5X powermate to really bring out the detail in the rings.

the reprocessed version, I left the natural tilt this time, I don't know why I removed it the first time :scratch:

 

[PlasticSpanner]

Now that one is awsome! Much better than my film attempt right now! 1 second exposure was just a little too long & I lost the details! Can't wait for the next clear night to have another go!!!

Whenever I look at Saturn it always ends up standing on end!

 

[PlasticSpanner]

I know what you mean about wanting to process the images straight away! I got in from a nights observing at 4 am & still mixed chemicals, heated them & processed the films (disaster waiting to happen someday! )

All just so I can have the negatives the following night!

But you are completely forgiven as any image is fantastic when you're clouded out!

Totall awesome pursuer, I would love to see a shot of you out there freezing ur a** off., so I can see your set up!

 

[John_05]

wow! very nice photo. i was going to ask what kind of equipment you used to get shots like that, but i probably dont want to know. im trying to save for a dSLR, and at the rate im going i wont have one until around 2008 if im lucky. by the time i save up what they want for the one i want to get, maybe i will be able to find one a little better or maybe have enough to get a different lens for it, or maybe something else.

or, if anyone here feels like being VERY generous and wants to sell me their Rebel XT or 20D for the $175 i have saved.................. :lmao:

ok, back to the topic. very nice photos. i cant wait to see more.

Thanks guys,

Raymond there is a kind of dark shot of me freezing my a$$ off in this thread, along with my humble first attempt at Saturn.

John_05 I actually just used a webcam to capture the image, but a telescope is needed to0 of course.
