Saturn 09.02.2009

CCD vs Film? Lots of time vs no patience? Alright, this is your place to discuss all the astrophotography what's and what's not. You can discuss about techniques, accessories, cameras, whatever....just make sure you also post some nice photos here too!

Aha! I was figuring out what was it and you got it!

William, I sense the S&T $50 photo award. Great one! By the way, why is the color so weird compare to the "conventional Saturn"?
Clear skies,

Not sure from when onward, I loved the Saturn in this color. I did the color balance based on the Saturn ring and it gave this type of color.
