[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 748300, member: 48483"] For 2 years in a row I have imaged Saturn with my Sigma 150-600mm C lens. In 2019 I only had a tripod and was constantly chasing Saturn as it moved. This year I had a tracking mount and it was very easy to do a series of photos to stack. [ATTACH=CONFIG]349124._xfImport[/ATTACH] And Jupiter from the same night. [ATTACH=CONFIG]349125._xfImport[/ATTACH] Now I did have to paste the planet image over the over-exposed image that reveals the moons. I use RegiStax to combine 30 or more photos so the details can show. Yes I am cropped in quite a lot. Original full-size images look like dots. And yes, I have been working on all the planets this year. After finally getting Uranus on the 2nd night of trying, I decided Neptune would be beyond my gear right now.
