Saturn first image attempt

This is my 1st and pathetic attempt to image Saturn with my 8” f5 newt last week
Captured via BYEOS Planetary mode
Used a Televue 5 x Powermate in my Canon 600D
ISO 800
1200 frame video AVI file
Stacked in Autostakkert 3 ( best 40% )
Processed in Registax 6
Conditions were awful , planet was jumping around like a pogo even towards the zenith
In hindsight I should have increased the exposure time to give the resolution a chance to pick up detail plus a lot more captures ( lucky imaging )
It’s not easy this planetary stuff , quick capture time but you need lots of captures to sort out the best of the best

Thanks for looking , as always comments most welcome ( including advice and criticism

Cheers
