Hi guys,
Earlier today somewhere between 2:30 and 5:00 am at 9ºF (brrr)or so, the viewing condition were particular good for NWA. This is what I got. Taken with Philips SPC900 on a Celestron EdgeHD 8" with a 2.5x Powermate. This are the best 2000 frames out of around 10,000. Expoure: 1/25s per frame.
I'm including two pics, different processing. Don't know which looks better.
Best,
Pablo

Great shot Pablo! I like the second one better, more color and contrast. Mike

Thanks Mike!
I did like the second better. Them I read that people process the planet and the rings separately Surprised!
It kinda make sense. When increasing the contrast, to try to bring more color for the planet, the rings get reduced.
Here's a run with separate process for the planet and the rings:
