Saturn captured by my Telescope

- Short video and processed image from Saturn's opposition last night. Not my best capture of the planet. I'm also not as proficient with the planets as I am with DSO's. I usually use a mono camera but last night I tried my OSC ASI533CM Pro (cooler turned off). I really need an ADC (Atmospheric Dispersion Corrector) if I want to use OSC. The blue shift was very noticeable. I had some success in processing it out but overall sharpness was impacted. Might try again in a few days with my asi178mm if the seeing is good.
For those not familiar with planetary astrophotography let me explain what you are seeing.
The video has a green bias due to the camera sensor being more sensitive to green than red and blue.
To create a image of the planet, you record video. You then use a program that stacks the best quality video frames into a single image. This image is then processed in editing software to correct the color, reduce noise & sharpen details.
Equipment used:
Celestron Edge HD 8
ZWO ASI533MC Pro
Skywatcher EQ6R Pro
Optolong Lum filter

Great resolution! You can even make out some separation within the inner rings and banding in the clouds. Nicely done!
Nice job James that was looking pretty stable, assume it was a pretty good night. Lovely music.
Very nice work James 👏🏻👏🏻🔭🌌
Amazing!🌟
Nice Sharp views James! Am I the only one who thinks in this way: The music Fits Perfectly, with that seeing condition 😂, Saturn is Jiggling with the rythm!
Lovely image of Saturn James I haven't done much planetary imaging in such a long time, I started out planetary imaging using old webcams then I used a QHY5L-II although tech has come on in leaps & bounds since then.
What a transformation James, excellent mate👍
Great views of Saturn. Looks like the air was pretty stable that night.
that's beautiful James!
Fantastic image! Did you use the 0.7x reducer or was this at the full 2032mm focal length?
Lovely. What filter were you using?
