my FIRST ever saturn!! exciting!!! (for me atleast!)

[willcastle]

got my scope last week and couldnt use it til now cos of cloud! but the views were incredible of saturn last nite! pushed up to 400x and the image was razor sharp!! and heres my first attempt of imaging it! its not great but its a start!

(just a note... i was manually tracking and i wasnt polar aligned!! haha! so u can imagine that things were made difficult! i did polar align later last nite tho and it was so much easier)

Very good first attempt. I can't wait to use my spc900, I have no laptop so at some point i'll take the pc outside.
