Saturn 8/18/26 ~07:30 UTC
Equipment: Telescope (Orion XT8), Orion Shorty 2x Barlow, Camera (ASI662mc), UV/IR cut filter.
Captured in ASICAP 5x3 minute videos at ~150 fps, best 25% of frames stacked and sharpened (used PIPP for stabilization, stacked in autostakkert4 and sharpened in registax6 then measured and derotated in WinJUPOS, then a final sharpen back in registax6) final touches in affinity photo 2 for getting the moons in the final photo.
P.S. Astrophotography is hard. I've been tinkering for months (dating back to November 2025) with recording and editing and the whole process, and this is the only result that I am actually happy to have captured as far as Saturn is concerned. It only takes one thing to go wrong to make a less than ideal result, and there are many things that can go wrong.
