Saturn + COLOUR!, 28th Feb

CCD vs Film? Lots of time vs no patience? Alright, this is your place to discuss all the astrophotography what's and what's not. You can discuss about techniques, accessories, cameras, whatever....just make sure you also post some nice photos here too!

Hi,

It is typically 1000 frames stacked per channel though I took 2000 frames per channel. This is the LRGB version.
