Saturn - 16th April 2008

[Steve Kent]

Hi everyone,

This is my very first image of Saturn. Captured using a C11 mounted on a CG-5 (non-driven) mount and a Pentax Optio S5i compact digital camera held over a 12.4mm eyepiece. The seeing was 6/10 and transparency good.

Lot of detail there. Very good afocal shot. I like the way you have annotated the image :thumbleft:

That's a great outcome, you must have very steady hands.

Lovely picture.

Excellent image - and a great job on catching the moons as well.
