Saturn last night

Yes, the shutter speed, etc needs to be fairly quick to avoid the blob. I used 1/80 sec, but I could have gone a bit faster there. So I was slightly overexposed, which has all the detail in the original shot. PP'ing to bring out the details from this....

Cool photo Hanse,

Well done Mark. I would have thought you would just get a blob but you have quite a bit of detail.

[HansE]

Just saw this and knew you would like it.

[HansE]

Thanks Mark Good one!

[Isac]

Thanks Mark - appreciated. Your gear has performed well to get that shot.

[MJ224]

I use Manual mode here. and settings as above. My MFT 300mm is worth 600mm on your FF's...

[MJ224]

In this case, in manual mode, f5.6, 1/80th sec, and ISO 6400. Any slower then you just get a blob, and faster more detail but very faint. Trial and error as usual, The planet is a bit low in the sky here, so quite a lot of atmosphere to get through...

[Isac]

Fantastic work Mark! - and at 6400 ISO, well done. Do you normally use shutter priority for these shots?

[HansE]

wow. I wouldn't know where to find it. What settings?

About a 94% crop. and a bit of PP'ing..
