About this image

Not the best image Ive taken on saturn, but it is very low and getting mixed in sea haze from the English Channel. Hopefully will be better in a couple of weeks time when higher up or if I stay up later!

Interesting detail at the noise threshold. Cassini is just coming into view. I would try 3000 frames and 20% of those say. The planet is quite well places now arround 11pm - good luck.
