First it was cloudy and then it was cloudier. My plan to image it from start to finish went bust. But I still had a good time. The first pictures were taken at 1/100 second, with the ISO set to automatic while the last one was a full one second. Truth be told the clouds give the events some character but we had too much of a good thing.
I know these Saturns all pretty much look alike but this one is a little different. I shot it with my C9.25 at F/20, a focal length of 4700mm. It turned out fairly well considering how bad the shakes were. I’m not sure why that was but I did have a dew shield to catch the wind and was using a barlow to magnify the image and the shakes. I think I’ll leave the dew shield off next time. Best 20% of 1000 40ms frames.
