Description

Saturn 07/08/2024

Very long session, about 3 hours, with variable but good seeing conditions. I continued experimenting using the ASI 462MC with both a UV/IR cut filter and an IR pass filter. I collected almost 200GB of data, some in RGB24, some in mono8.

I carefully selected the images to keep during processing and combined the final color image with the IR image. The ZWO ASI 462mc has high sensitivity to infrared light, and while it doesn't perform as well as a monochrome camera, it still provides very respectable results. It was a long processing job, but I am pleased with the result.
