oldpink Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 decided to cloud dodge tonight under hazy conditions and no alignmentstarted with the moon to get a rough setting, moved to mars and got some decent viewing but no great image as I wasn't set upstuck the camera on and looked up to see a bright star in among the cloud and snapped 9 x 20s shots and 2 darks as a testcame back in due to cloud and ran the shots I had through DSSthe bright star I had was Saturn through the cloudsand possibly a moon in shot though I have to check the charts as I did this by accident Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Presland Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 sorry to disappoint you but i am not sure it is. it does look a bit Saturn and a moon but the part that looks like a ring is only on one side, the moon i think is a out of focus star.

Steve Ward Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Hazy conditions , no alignment , 20 second exposures , big reflector on a light mount .... sorry to say I have to agree with Pete , just an oddly shaped out of focus star ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
