Hey Ving

You’re a brave man! I pointed the M180 and DMK at Saturn the other night and got a big, big fright – a very dim image with lots of wobbling, so I quickly switched to Sirius at the zenith.

You’ve done very well to produce such a pleasing image; I’d forgotten how dim Saturn appears. The bands and cap look quite distinct – good job!

Cheers

Dennis
