Thank you good sir. I got really lucky with the seeing and weather :)

I use a 10" GoTo dobsonian, and for this image: a 2x barlow, zwo adc, and an asi178 color camera.

I finally had some really nice weather this week so I decided to set up my gear right at sunset to get this photo of Saturn and some moons (Rhea, Tethys, Titan and Dione). Taken on: November 17, 2022 at 2:52 UTC from Salem, OR, USA.

Process: 2x5 minute videos, best ~10% stacked using AutoStakkert. Then wavelets and rgb alignment done with AstroSurface, and de-rotated the sharpened stacks with WinJupos. Final sharpening, denoise, and color adjustments done with GIMP. Also the moons were masked using a stretched version of one of the stacks.

Gear: Skywatcher 10" GoTo Dob, X-Cel 2x, ZWO ADC, ASI178 + UV/IR cut

Nice a dedicate job. Congrats

A few more years of these beautiful rings before we have to wait for some years to see them again like this.

Saturn doesn’t cease to amaze me.

Very nice! Can you share a little about your equipment and techniques used?

EDIT: Sorry - I should have read farther down in the comments.
