Saturn 18-6-17 C8 Also 224

[knobby]

I was determined to have a crack at Saturn on father's day after a nice day with the kids.

I knew it was low at about 15° but was pretty sure I would spot it over neighbours roofs ...

When I set up at 11:30 I realised that it DIDN'T 

Not to be deterred I set up in the extension (about 1.5 m higher than garden)

I knew this would be far from ideal but had a bash anyway, I'm actually quite surprised with the result shooting through an open double doorway.

Nice capture given the challenges you had to overcome - definitely worth persevering. I don't see any 'settings below', but maybe that's just my phone display.

Strange ... the settings text is black ... i'll see if i can edit it !

 

EDIT: Changed font colour to red ... gotta preserve that night vision

I would be very happy with that end result, a real tough target at the moment! Some very nice detail visible there.

[knobby]

Thanks Pete

Also could a mod edit the thread title please...

Many thanks
