HEQ5, N250/1200, TSO ADC, ASI 224MC (cooled), home observatory, mountpusher, above average seeing, the input was about 450k raw frames

400k frames (more than an hour raw video, 150 GB data) with the ASI 224MC, TSO ADC, N250/1200, HEQ5

I imaged Saturn with comparatively good seeing conditions. About 150k frames and half an hour of raw went into the final picture. ASI 224MC, TSO ADC, N250/1200, HEQ5

Nothing fancy, just the good old technique: falling asleep while tens of thousands of frames get recorded, and the telescope is kept on target by the soapbox project. ASI 224MC, TSO ADC, N250/1200, HEQ5

Half an hour of raw video (>100k frames, tens of gigabytes) went into this picture of Saturn. The low altitude craves for the huge number of frames to … well, have enough luck for the lucky imaging. At 178°42′ elongation, this is just one day away from the opposition. The rings are surprisingly bright. ASI 224MC, TSO ADC, N250/1200, HEQ5 guided by the soapbox on my balcony.
