About this image

This image was created from a single video beginning at 04:15:03 and ending at 04:25:14, total frames recorded were 12,453. Exposure and gain remained the same throughout the video. The lunar surface is created from the first 7,150 frames from 04:15:03 to 04:21:00, best 50% were stacked. Saturn is created from the 5,778 frames between 04:20:21 to 04:25:14, best 90% frames were stacked. The elements were assembled to match a reference frame from original video recorded at 04:20:21. I will include the reference frame in the comments. I have attempted to replicate the relative brightness of the Moon and Saturn in that frame.
