It's been a long time since I have been able to get the scope out and try for some planets and seeing as how saturn was up it had to be it.

I'm happy with this but I'll try again a couple more times to get it right.

Nice image vash. Can you provide details on how you got it? (exp time etc)

Oh and I like the shadow on the rings at the back of the planet.

Nice one vash. It has been a bit thin on the ground up here for view and imaging for the past few months, hey?

I know we need the rain deperately, but maybe it could just rain during the day and the sky clear at sunset :prey:

I used envisage and I think it was around 500 frames captured.
as for any other details I'm not to sure, i'm still learning

I did a little tweeking in photoshop and stacked a couple of them together.

We had so rain yesturday here on the Gold Coast but it missed the dam. If the condidtions are ok tonight I might try for jupiter after I finish work.
