Planetary Images

Saturn
This is my best still image yet of Saturn.  It was taken April 10th, 2007 through my AP160 EDF with a Philips SPC900NC webcam.  Eighty 1/5th second exposures were taken with K3CCD Tools 3.0 and then stacked together using Registax.  The final image was processed in Photoshop using unsharp mask, and increasing contrast.

 

Jupiter 
This is my best still image yet of Jupiter.  It was taken May 19th, 2007 on the summit of Mt. Lemmon (9100 feet) just North of Tucson through my AP160 EDF with a Philips SPC900NC webcam.  Two hundred 1/5th second exposures were taken with K3CCD Tools 3.0 and then stacked together using Registax.  The final image was processed in Photoshop using unsharp mask, and increasing contrast.  Jupiter's moon Io is also in the frame.
