Saturn - throught the haze

[Sam]

It was a bit hazy last night but Saturn was still quite clear and I think this is my best one yet!

1060 out 3250 frames stacked in Registax. Taken with SPC900NC on Orion XT8 (8" Newt) - Whilst at the same time being viewed through the 16" Lightbridge! best of both worlds! now I can image and observe at the same time!!

This one is with a tal 3X Barlow to make it a bit bigger - the seeing wasn't quite good enough to stack the 2 X Barlow as well.
