Description
Lord of the Rings: Saturm from 22nd July 2019 captured with a C11

I guess that this is the best result I can hope for when capturing Saturn this year.
Transparency, seeing and humidity were a bit above average last night when, despite of the weather forecast, the clouds disappeared and revaealed the beautiful night sky.

Viewing the ring planet through the eye piece was a joy: The steady air allowed me to get a quick look at the Cassini Division and some of Saturn's moons.
Unfortunately, as usual, filming the gas giant through a C11 at this high resolution lead to images which are more blurry in comparison to viewing Saturn through an eye piece.

Picture data:
- ~ 13 000 frames

Equipment used:
- C11 telescope with ~ 3m focal length
- EQ6R Pro Mount
- ASI ZWO 290 MMC
- 2x Powermate
- Baader IR Pass Filter

Recording:
- Binning enabled

Editing:
- Frames were stacked
- Stacked image was sharpened
