Saturn Image Processing

#astrophotography #space
Saturn Opposition is upon us!
Saturn is the ringed jewel of our Solar System. It is a visually stunning planet and with practice can be captured in amazing detail without having to leave your house.
Join me as we process some Saturn data in preparation for Saturn opposition, the point in orbit where Saturn is at its closest to Earth.
I also wanted to apologize for the long absence, but after coming back to work my channel just had to take a backseat for a little bit. I am truly grateful to everyone who stuck around and all the new followers as well. I have some great stuff planned and I hope y'all enjoy!
Clear Skies!

Great video! In case you didn't know, you can bump up the Brightness in Autostakkert temporaily, to place a single small AP on each moon. That might produce a sharper moon in your final stacked image. This is especially useful for Jupiter, since there is potentially a lot of detail in the moon(s).

[@InsertAstroNameHere]

Hey Josh! Sorry for the super late response. I’m glad you enjoyed it! I do that all the time for Jupiter’s moons. I was actually asked to make a tutorial on that specifically today, so..

[@henrypuyi5485]

Backyard sent me. This was great.

[@Seargent_Scraps]

Damn can't believe you even got the moons from your own backyard. Nice work

[@ChucksAstrophotography]

Excellent tutorial!

[@InsertAstroNameHere]

Thank you Chuck! I missed making video a lot more than I realized.

[@andreaskwnstantinos8904]

Man thank you a lot for that video...I was searching how to do it with Saturn's moon...thanks

[@InsertAstroNameHere]

Sorry for the super late response. I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@DashawnJizzle]

Wow! Just wow! Just got my first scope. Hoping I can get a glimpse of Saturn. Excellent Video bro!!

[@InsertAstroNameHere]

Awesome! What did you get?

[@DashawnJizzle]

@@InsertAstroNameHere Got the Celestron Travel Scope 70 it came with a 20mm & 10mm eyepieces. I also got a 2X Barlow lense too. 🤞🏽

Waaao.... This is awsome... I did it with my capture. Thanks to you...😉

Found your channel and am really loving learning new stuff. Continue enlightening us with your amazing content

[@Dreadlockyx]

Thank you very much for these videos, a gold mine for starters ! Clear skies

[@henservillela1938]

Dude! great video thanks a lot! Im not done watching the video and I stopped it just to write the comment LOL, it is a very simple video BUT with lots of info, thanks again!

[@InsertAstroNameHere]

So glad you enjoyed it!

[@craiglowery4427]

Beautiful image.

[@texdoms]

Trevor took me here! Matt, all of your videos are pure treasure! You should definitely make more of them. Cheers!

[@tomhoskins4913]

Hi Matt, I am hear because Trevor Jones said you were killing it! You did not disappoint, I have been doing nothing but deep sky up until now. But I finally used my MAK/Cas rig , with an ASI533MC, not a planetary camera. I dove in with autostackert and registrax with Saturn in opposition. and got great results considering Saturn was low in the sky and I had to stop imaging early because the clouds moved in. I did this before seeing this video, Next time I will apply some of your post processing techniques, I learn more about regitrax thanks to you.

[@InsertAstroNameHere]

Welcome Tom! And I hope you enjoy chasing planets from now on!

[@GamesofAnunna]

Subscribed! Cool video man! I'm just a beginner in astrophotography and I'm learning so much stuff. Unfortunately in my country it is cloudy last 3 weeks haha I just got my new telescope but I can not test it yet 😅 🙃

[@refetastro]

Best of the best tutorial Thanks so much

[@astropeanutcat1953]

[@tylerjay_]

Master at work 🙏 so glad to see you back at it my friend!

[@InsertAstroNameHere]

Appreciate it brother!

[@srdeku]

I recently watched one of your videos and all I can say is I'm hooked and learned some great tips about post-processing. I hope you do more content about planets like Jupiter and eventually DSO as you did with your Moon videos.

[@InsertAstroNameHere]

I have loads of ideas, just kinda sporadic when I get to execute them. I’m not too sure about DSOs just yet, but there are several people on here that already crank out amazing deep sky content. I greatly appreciate you enjoying the videos!

[@ricksvideos4883]

Thanks for a great video and clear skies in West Texas!

[@InsertAstroNameHere]

It didn’t work out too well. Only clear 2 of the nights, but still had a blast

[@LogansAstro]

Great tip on how to include the moons 👍🏼

[@InsertAstroNameHere]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@HockeyHomeBrewski]

Thanks for taking the time to make this and sharing! I’m a newbie and like watching your videos - entertaining and informative.

[@hansowerydberg]

Indeed they are!

[@InsertAstroNameHere]

Thank you so much! I forgot how much fun it was to make them 🪐

[@Hidden.Light.Photography]

Hello, thank you for the great video and amazing capture!! I am trying to learn as much as I can, but I am starting to get disappointed in image quality. Which scope and camera setup did you use for this image?

[@samiblidi9510]

Great to discover your video at the right time !! I'm trying to process 2 videos of Saturn and Jupiter with my Newton 200/1000 and with both Nikon D5200 and bresser deepsky HD camera. is it a good manner and what's your set-up? Thanks

[@cex7355]

A hoot and a holler for sure

[@InsertAstroNameHere]

YESSIR!

[@michaeledmonds3027]

Hey Matt....Just subscribed after Trevor mentioned you on his current Saturn imaging KZbin video. apparently he used a C-11 Edge with a 2X barlow. Glad to hear about you and your dad going to West Texas to capture images. I've been to the TSP on the Prude Ranch many times and it's a great place. Without combing through all your videos, what gear are you using to capture those large planetary images? Maybe a C-14 or a big Apo? Of course it's all about the seeing conditions. I live in Arlington, Texas and you need to head West for darker skies. Thanks for your answers....

[@marcocambray7725]

I enjoyed planetary videos

[@davidrousseau8066]

How many people ended up here after Trevor's video? I do! :) :) :)

OMG , we just about gave up on you ! Glad you're OK and , I see , using both arms now too ! Looking forward to more of your excellent Videos . Cheers./SRK

[@InsertAstroNameHere]

Both arms are almost fully functional 🤣

[@cex7355]

@@InsertAstroNameHere but are both hands 🤔

[@scottrk4930]

Anyway , glad you're back . Question...which version of AutoStakkert do you have ? I cannot and do not get the quick response when changing the Wavelet Tabs . It takes me hours to do what you did in a few minutes . None of my other Software behaves like this . Should try a reload I guess . /SRK

[@itisshashankdev]

amazing video. i am new to stargazing. may i know what website or tool used at 8:13. thanks

[@InsertAstroNameHere]

Sorry for the super late response. I’m glad you enjoyed it! Stellarium. Desktop and mobile app. I use it all the time!

[@debbietownsend953]

Hi there- i love this. im going to attempt saturn over the next few weeks (based in UK) what setup was your ATMOSPHERIC DISBURSEMENT CORRECTOR? it will be my first time using it :)

[@InsertAstroNameHere]

I have a new video about that very thing! Check it out.

[@debbietownsend953]

@@InsertAstroNameHere will do - think its the one i found last night :)

[@K0DADR0T-es1pk]
