Saturn @f40, April 8, 2006 v2547 viewsSaturn, April 8, 2006, from my first set of f40 shots taken through a Televue Powermate. Registax and Photoshop. I increased the bit resolution by 4x in Photoshop so I had more granularity to work with when sharpening and blurring. This version also has better color balance with reduced blue.
