Few more of Saturn with MAK

[JKB]

Had a bit more time last night and managed to get the 4 images below. Very happy with scope and quite happy with images. Not sure if the SW barlow is really good enough to push the scope that far with SPC900.

As always comments appreciated.

Thanks

Nice bands on the planet and the cassini division is very evident

Those are pretty good. I've not processed mine from last night yet. I reckon the seeing last night was far better than we've had it for ages.

The standard SW barlow is fairly rubbish, I reckon. I bought a used Celestron Ultima and took the lens out of my SW barlow so I can use it as an extension. I'm not convinced that Saturn is really bright enough to be able to get decent pictures with a 127 Mak, 2x barlow and extension very often, but bigal1 seems to have done nicely here:

Great results, 2 + 3 look bit more natural i think,

Bright Northern storm area showing well, so good result

Great results from a 127 Mak. These scopes do seem to deliver some great images and considering how hard it has been for some of us to get a decent shot this year, i think your results are great. Thanks for sharing.

I like those, well done.

Very good images!

Great images well done the 127 mak is capable of great images when the conditions allow , i bought an Orion shorty plus 2x barlow and it seems a lot better than the standard Skywatcher one .
