Saturn - The Child Devourer

Last summer we tried to photograph Saturn for the first time with our new telescope. The results were astonishing as you can see.

We packed our gear and drove to the old village where we usually observe the night sky. The Sun was setting as we arrived so I started setting up the mount and telescope. The mount we used was the Orion Starseeker IV and the telescope was the Orion Maksutov 127/1540.

After all was set we waited a bit for the telescope to cool down (and enjoyed a cocktail or two).

We started shooting once Saturn got high enough. In the middle of the imaging session some old friends of ours came and paid us a visit. Probably because they spotted our soft blanket as they wouldn't leave once they laid down on it.

The camera we used was the Omegone VeLOX 178C camera together with a 2X Barlow lens. As you can see there are two different final images because we shoot Saturn two times that night. The first image (down) was created by stacking the best 970 out of 2157 frames and the second image (up) was created by stacking the best 3190 out of 8010 frames using Autostakkert3!, and the details were extracted using Registax 6.

Both images are more or less good. You can clearly distinguish the different cloud patterns and the Cassini division in the rings, but the first image (up) is the one that left us really astonished as you can clearly see the shadow Saturn throws at it's own rings.

All in all this was an excellent imaging session and we hope you enjoy the images.

Clear skies!

Full Strauberry Moon

My radio said the full moon at this time was called strawberry moon. I was wondering if the moon looked red, but It seems to be the season when wild strawberry blooms. Certainly, there are wild strawberry fruits in my garden.

La luna al 88% a dos días de la luna llena... En este procesado se pueden ver las distintas regiones minerales de la luna exagerando sus colores. Así también podemos ver un poco de la historia geológica de la luna al notar cómo los distintos flujos de lava se solidificaron generando regiones donde hay una clara división mineral.

*#Jupiter & #Saturn Great #Conjunction*... Captured on Monday, 2020.12.21.... *Description*: Jupiter-Saturn conjunctions happen every 20 years. But these conjunctions aren't all created equal. The 2020 great conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn will be the closest since 1623 with 0.1° apart and Jupiter was South of Saturn. This was the closest observable since 1226! The next Jupiter Saturn Conjunction will happen on October 31, 2040, while the next super-close pairing of these two planets would be on March 15, 2080. *Equipment*: __#Sky-Watcher BK MAK 180mm SCT... __#Celestron AVX Mount... __#ZWO ASI183MC #Camera... *Processing*: __2004 frames captured in #SharpCap __Stacked in #Autostakkert3 __Wavelets in #Registax __Enhanced in #Lightroom & #Snapseed *Sky Conditions*: Hazy and thin layer of clouds... 5/10 *Location*: #Bangalore, #Karnataka, #India #astronomy #planetary #planetphotography #astrophotography #astrophotographyindia #JupiterSaturnConjunction © Vijay Kapoor Follow My Instagram for More pics: http://Instagram.com/lunar_mountains_climber (at Bangalore, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJGVmn-JmmT/?igshid=c4s8qtwh20ys
