Saturn through a 130mm Sky-Watcher Telescope

My first pic of sarturn, not the best quality as I only held a digital camera to the eye piece.

Hope you like it

great photo especially for being hand held. what eyepiece setup did you use?

Isnt it great that you can see something that far away with a relatively small scope? I love it!

Very nice. I have pretty much the same scope as you and tried taking my first picture of saturn a few days ago but could only manage a small yellow smuge.

[RogerTheDodger]

That's pretty darned good for a hand held

[junior]

Very good indeed,

My own attempt didnt come out very well, it would be good to know what eye pieces you used!

Did you take video and stack the frames or is it a single exposure.

Well done

Any photo of saturn is good enough, from the distance we are its amazing the pictures people post on here.

Great shot.

You should defo invest in a webcam as this will give you the equivalent of around a 5 or 6mm eyepiece so mag will be higher (Saturn will appear larger) and you can stack many images with Registax.

Even if your mount is unguided you shoudl be able to get at least 5 seconds worth of shots before it drifts out of view which are 15 frames per seconds is 75 images.
