Saturn 08/16/25

Sat Aug 23 2025

This is a reprocess of the Saturn images I took on 08/16 but this is a stack of 4 different 5 minute long videos with the best average of around 35% of all frames. This was the first time I’ve managed to figure out and use WinJupos to derotate the images.

Gas Giant Planet

Saturn is the second-largest planet and the jewel of the solar system, famous for its bright ring system of ice and rock. The rings, along with cloud banding and the moon Titan, make it one of the most rewarding targets for planetary imaging.
