After a long period of bad weather, finally an evening with some decent astro-weather. The seeing was only average, which can be seen in the result. I used my Opticon 250 mm f/15 SCT, a Televue Big Barlow and ST-8.
The R(G)B image below consists of a selection of 9 Blue 0.5 s images and 10 Red 0.2 s images, the green image was synthesised from the aligned and averaged blue and red images.
11 September 2000.
As written on the Jupiter 2000 - 2001 page the conditions on the morning of 11 September 2000 were exceptional for my observing site. I made several ST-8 and CFW8 RGB sets of Saturn with CCD-OPS Win. The resultant images were combined and treated with AstroArt and Photoshop. The RGB components were 1/1/2.6 s exposure using my Opticon 250 mm SCT f/15 working at f/30 with a Televue barlow.

The image below is a combination of 9 images taken with my Opticon 250 mm f/15 SCT + Televue Big Barlow + ST8 CFW8, each image 0.11 s without filter. The seeing was only moderate.

The following two images were made on 29 August 2000, using a Takahashi CN212 in Cassegrain f/12 configuration. A Televue 2x barlow was used with my ST-8. Exposure time for each individual image was 1 second. The first image consists of 2 images averaged and processed with unsharp mask filter. The second image contains 5 averaged images, processed with unsharp mask filter.
