Here is the nights take not so much in the way of good photos, but more learning with exposures and such.

 

here is the full frame in color after processing.

For interest, here is the same frame, only without the wavelet processing and sharp filter.

and processing in BW

The above picture shows an edge/stacking artifact in the lower left corner.  This shows some of how Saturn was drifting over the course of the capture.  Since the frames are stacked with Saturn as  the alignment point, the edges do not always line up.  This is not so visible in the basic stack (below), but really shows after Wavelet processing brings out the differences.  The color Wavelet processed image does not show as much as well since it is using less of push on the sharpening. (I find Black and White images can take more Wavelet without showing grain.)

Here is the basic stack.

I also tried the 2x Barlow, but it did not go so well.

And that is after Wavelet processing. (Notice the grain..?)

Here is the basic stack. (cropped)
