Saturn over 10 years Lyon France
Some projects take years... especially in astronomy. I dreamed of it ten years ago! Long-winded work, exhausting when you have to get up in the middle of the night and go to work in the wake but it was worth it
Saturn over ten years from Lyon France
For the pleasure of the eyes I propose you a
Photo montage containing 1 shot of Saturn per year since 2014 .
The first image of 2014 , my debut in astrophotography, was shot in afocale with a compact camera Canon SX 260 HS at the focus of a 10 mm eyepiece mounted on a Maksutov 180/2700 mm Skywatcher
The other images were taken with two CMOS colours, first from 2015 to 2017 a ZWO ASI 120 MM + LRVB ZWO filters and then from 2018 to 2024 an Altair 385 C CMOS focusing on a Maksutov 180 / 2700mm Skywatcher
For the 2014 image I use a compact camera Canon powershoot 260 SX in afocale on an eyepiece of 10 mm at the focus of the Maksutov 180/2700 Black Diamond Skywatcher I do not remember the time of exposure but it was very short
For the images from 2015 to 2017 I used a CMOS ZWO ASI 120 MM + LRVB filter ZWO + ADC ZWO + Maksutov 180/2700 + mount NEQ 6
