Fairly stable seeing last night but thin cloud was a problem especially with Saturn, but just glad to get out again after all this lousy weather of late! Thanks for looking!

Nice ones despite the clouds. Love the colours you are getting. Did you use the DMK or DFK?

Nice couple pics Simon  , really like your Saturn colours.  

I'm waiting for a replacement planet cam (blew the last two up due to a faulty power lead supplied) so I'm desperate to get some last minute planet stuff in, even if its just a practice. Envious

I only just sold my C9.25 which was a trooper and there is a difference to my 9.25 albeit not as much as the C14 would be, but there's always a bigger scope out there and the extra £2k for the 14" was hard to swallow, especially as I still need to get more stuff.

I do love my new C11 HD but I've hardly had a chance to push it. Your C9.25 can push out some great shots and your Saturn capture looks like it has more to offer with bubbling's of lots of detail in there . Its a really nice capture.

They look great even if you shot these through thin clouds.. I think the neon like glow is a great change from a standard pics.
