Hello,

I tried to capture Saturn with my 8" Newton and Panasonic fz-18 camera, behind 6mm vixen plossl eyepiece. Seeing was excellent, but video was very noisy so it's cannot be as perfect as other Saturn pictures in this forum :(

Thanks for looking

Hi Roman,

That's a lot better than I was expecting for that setup! :thumbsup: What is the focal length of your scope?

Bloodbean: It is SkyWatcher Newton 200/1000. With 6mm vixen and around 10x zoom of camera it gives around 8 meters focal lenght. Final image was resampled 1,5x. Stacked was only 138 frames of 640x480 video in Registax.
