Shutter 1/5, Gain 10, Brightness 75, Gamma 25. Best 150 of 1005 frames stacked. Histogram blue shift and Wavelet 5 at 50 in Registax 1. Instead of the usual tone adjust in PhotoStudio to make the sky black, I increased the Gamma so 3 moons are visible. Rhea at Mag. 9.6 is above Saturn, Tethys at Mag. 10.1 is left Dione at Mag 10.3 is below. Enceladus at Mag. 11.6 is in the picture at lower right but is to faint to see. |
