Reprocessed images

I reprocessed a couple of images from a previous post. The first image is a 3D image (anaglyph). You will need a pair of red/blue 3D glasses. The second image was reprocessed by resampling at 2x to try to pull out more features.

More Saturn

Another attempt at imaging Saturn. Unfortunately, it was a bit hazy and I still couldn't get much detail out of it.

Taken with a Philips Vesta Pro 690K webcam. I unscrewed the lens and mounted a The Universal WebCam Adapter so that it fits into a 1.25" eyepiece socket. The telescope used was a Meade LX-90 (8" SCT, f/10). Pictures were captured and stacked using K3CCDTools or Registax. Further processing done with Paint Shop Pro 7

Feb 6, 2003 -- A few days after opposition, I was able to get some nice pictures of Jupiter, its moons, and its red spot. Definitely check out the animation of Jupiter and IO!
