Saturn

My first 'decent' image of Saturn this season. The rings are getting very small!
There were some clouds in the sky, but I managed to shoot this image between the clouds. Seeing was average.
The image is an Ir-RGB image, where I used an infrared pass filter with my b/w Toucam Pro II 840k for luminance, and a normal RGB-webcam (SPC900NC) combined with an UV/IR-cut filter to get the color information.
In total I used about 1500 frames for Luminance and 500 frames for RGB. The image was stacked in Registax and combined and further processed in Photoshop CS3. The image has been resized to 75% to make it look a bit smoother.
