One from this morning. Seeing was a bit touch & go for the image scale but I got a few anyway.

8" SCT/900nc webcam.

So, I'm not sure how to take that comment Gary ? Are you saying that because it's 12 months on everyone is not happy with it? lol.

Lester, someone could have a C14 & the latest camera but if one doesn't have the required knowledge...

Great image Asimov, I'd be very pleased with a shot like that. great colours and banding throughout and the rings look fantastic.

Cheers

Wow Wow Wonderful
30 years old C8, what a marvelous shot. I think credit must go to the man behind the Scope. Great work Asi.

It would almost seem that you were sitting next to Bird and Iceman.

I was sitting next to Iceman & Bird in spirit only Wolfie:D Physically I was a couple of thousand K's away.

Heres a quick resample of another AVI from the same night. A bit grainy but I kind of expected this to happen:whistle:
