First attempt on Saturn with my ETX125

Hi folks,

Just now during my school club's night observation, I managed to obtain a stacked image of Saturn with my newly purchased Philips ToUcam Pro 840K and my trusty ETX125 PE.

Seeing condition is not very good, however, the achieved image is fairly close to the best visual image I can get from the scope. Hope you folks can give some suggestions on improving this image

Image was processed with Registax 4.0 and Photoshop CS2

Just did some more processing with the image, have updated it

Play around with the sharpness controls in Registax. I'm quite sure you can make the rings even clearer to see.

Thanks guys. I did do some sharpness ajustments using Registax, and if I sharpen more, the image looks quite unnatural, just not my taste

really nice image. the only improvement is hopefully a better seeing condition next time

Good job man! Maybe this seeing condition is common in Singapore?
