Thanks very much Matt! And the eyepiece projection project is now coming along slowly, and is a really good fun challenge without purchasing an equatorially driven scope.

John, that is high praise from such an expert as you! One day I'd like to do planetary images just half as good as yours...

I worked a little with the curves in Digital Photo Professional to enhance Saturn without washing out the Moon, but you can't alter the image as much as you'd like due to the sheer scale of the contrast.
