NGC 7009 Saturn nebula

[Lester]

Hi all, got this one just before the lightning, hail and rain came last night. 29 x 30 second exposures with Astro 40D and 14" LX200 at f6.3 . Not as good as Dennis and Frank have got, but interesting to compare.

I like the colour here, Lester. The 14" LX200 @ f/6.3 is a winner.
