Saturn from tassie - thats about it from me this season

[davidpretorius]

I really do not like saturn........it is way too hard!

Not enough light coming thru from my toucam to get any decent size.

But anyway, i can say I have posted something......now onto jupiter

Seeing was not good. taken at 10fps, 5x powermate in a 1250mm dobbie with toucam

Saturn is tough at the moment, any image is a good image from Down Under.

Never Fear - Jupiter's (almost) Here!

At least you can you got something, DP..

Saturn is very tough at the moment, I don't enjoy imaging it at all.

[matt]

Well done Davo.

You're just warming up for the main event.

[stephenmcnelley]

Nice scale though David, what was the local altitude of Saturn in the image?

Weather here has been astro-awful, havent had the chance to gain much toucam experience with this target at all yet.

Great to seet it!:)
