About this image

Jupiter and Saturn at 14.5' separation this evening at 16.39UT. Image rotated to match the correct naked eye orientation.

Not a composite and no separate processing of any individual part of the frame. Gamma 2.0 to try and balance up the brightness mismatch between Jupiter and Saturn.

Hopefully a warm-up for tomorrow, Monday or Tuesday's closer separation!

An image to be proud of.

Is there a touch of unsharp masking or something in there?
