Last time, I introduced the pictures of Jupiter and Venus taken with Sunnipper (300mm, f2.8).
This time, I will introduce Saturn rising from the eastern sky after Jupiter and Mars.
This is Saturn's last shot when I was a student, and it's been a while since I shot it.
Saturn, which revolves outside Jupiter in the solar system
After struggling, Saturn is finally in sight.
Is that Saturn? Saturn, after all, when I put it in my field of view with half confidence.
I'm glad to see Saturn enlarged after a long time.
The ring is quite a sight to see.
Originally it was Saturn's moon, but it seems that it was too close to Saturn and was messed up by gravity and destroyed.
If Jupiter's moon Io is destroyed, will Jupiter have a huge ring?
Shooting is easy once you put it in the field of view, just press the record button on the camera.
Record for 1 minute and 30 seconds and stop button.
It's much easier than when I was shooting while calculating the film fee and the current increase fee one by one when I was a student.
There is no problem if the planet does not come out of the field of view during recording, so it is OK if you roughly align the polar axis of the equatorial mount.
The rest is digital processing.
An era in which everything, not just cameras, can be easily processed digitally.
The user side (self) is more and more likely to become a useless person who can do nothing.
I have to be careful.
In the analog era, all the omissions appeared, and I couldn't fix them later.
I had to concentrate more on everything I did, and it was costly, but I found it rewarding.
Now that I can do everything easily, I feel that it is more rewarding and less satisfying to use.
It is certain that I learned the planetary synthesis method called stacking this time and felt the potential and depth of digital.
The important thing is that technology isn't used well?
How the above photo was finished is
For the 1 minute 30 second video shot, 2700 still images, only those with good image quality are extracted as photos, and each one is combined while correcting the deviation.
Finally, the faint shades are emphasized.
You can easily do tasks that would be daunting to do manually on your computer with just a touch of the mouse.
Saturn is dark, so I had to increase the sensitivity, and there was a lot of noise.
The gap between Casini was not visible, but it may be visible if seeing is good.
Mars two months before the close approach, still looks big missing
Looking up at the southern sky late at night, Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars can be seen at regular intervals from the right.
Furthermore, the moon is just increasing in size and greetings with Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars.
Following Saturn, we focused on Mars, which is approaching on July 31st.
Mars, which looked like a small red dot in the viewfinder
By image processing, he showed a shaded expression like the above picture.
From now on, I will diligently observe Mars, which is getting closer to Mars and becoming bigger and brighter day by day.
I was deeply afraid that the 300mm telephoto lens of the camera had such a high resolution.
