The night spent in the observatory came again as a change. At the same time, I showed a few passers-by the moon, Saturn, and Jupiter, and it was their first time to observe those objects through a telescope. There were several videos of Saturn left at home. I selected the best and stacked the best frames of the video (40pcs) with a program called Lynkeos into one image. Here is the end result. The planet is currently only seven degrees high and therefore it is difficult to get any detail into the images due to the effect of the atmosphere. The image of Saturn is an infrared image taken with th...
