Saturn through a 16” telescope #saturn #space #telescope #shorts

This is one of my best captures of Saturn so far. There was a lot done behind the scenes. Please see the details below: 1. The raw footage is an 8K footage captured from a DSLR (Canon EOS R5) 2. The telescope is a Sky-Watcher 16“ Flextube SynScan GoTo Collapsible Dobsonian 3. The image is a stack of 25,000 images. Yes, you heard it right. For the final image, I used a different camera: Uranus-C colored astronomy camera. I captured 10 videos, each video was 5000 frames, then I extracted the best 2500 frames from each video, then stacked the 25000 frames. I used two astronomy softwares to help with this: Autostakkert and Registax. 4. Further edits were done with photoshop. If you look closely also, you will see tiny moons that I artificially added around Saturn, those are: Enceladus, Dione, and Tethys. If you don’t see them, bump up the brightness of your screen. The magnification of the telescope was 1800X2 totaling to 3600mm of focal length. The Moons of Saturn are actually visible from a telescope and a DSLR camera, you just have to increase the exposure significantly. During the capture, Saturn was 867.2 million miles away. The whole experience was totally worth getting up at 3:00 am! Enjoy! #saturn #telescope #tethys #dione #Enceladus #camera #space #stars #fyp
