Saturn and Six Moons


Taken with Celestron CG14 SCT (a C14 on a German Equatorial Mount), SBIG ST-7 CCD, CW8 CFW on October 10, 1999 at 23:15 MST. A two (2) second integration at F/11 was taken to capture the moons of Saturn. Separate RGB integrations of 0.11 seconds at F/11 were captured, sharpened using unsharp mask and high pass FFT, and combined to form the color image of Saturn. The color image Saturn was then substituted for the monochrome image of the planet. Annotation was performed using Adobe PhotoShop.
