first attempt saturn

[craigguk]

first attempt on saturn captured 1000 frames and stacked using registax first picture without barlow lense 2nd is with i am unsure what im doing wrong ive done the what the tutorials have shown on stacking the scope im using is a celestron 114 sct using an flashed phillips 880 to 900 im in a fairly light polluted area and planning to upgrade before winter season sets in also when im focused using an eyepiece i start to see double even triple images then goes to single again maybe i expect too much from this scope

i've seen double images on my telescope when it's unfocused. Sometimes a careful focus is all that is needed, while other times I need to get a glasses cleaning cloth to wipe away moisture on the eyepiece. Secondly, those images are great for a first Saturn! Focussing with a camera can be a bit annoying, but it's worth getting it exact. Also, you could turn up the 'gain' a bit on the settings to give it a light boost Well done (and don't get too addicted!)!
