I just can't seem to get the right settings for shooting and processing Saturn. And the seeing isn't great either. The results are pretty poor.

How come? I can capture faint Neptune with LB3x, but not Saturn? Increase the frames per second.

It looks a bit soapy. Probably need to adjust the histogram. I should really focus on that and capture a lot of video with different settings. And Jupiter is coming into view there too)

I just realized Saturn is a bit lower now, and there's my neighbor's roof in the way. I start shooting it as soon as it rises. Hot air rises from the sun‑baked roof after a day of heat, and it blurs everything.
