Thanks for that.
I used a 10" Reflector (1200mm) on a NEQ6 mount for this.
1/320s at ISO100 to limit the noise.
I did use the exposure delay function on the camera that i have only just discovered having had a regular D7000 for 4 years, so perhaps that helped with any shutter shaking aspects.

I looked at Saturn just after doing this and it looked pretty ordinary, so i thought the seeing was pretty average, so i was quite surprised that i got the amount of detail that i did, especially as i only took 16 shots.
I might try again another time and take more shots.
I was thinking about selling this camera soon, but i'm tempted to keep it after this.
Regards

Bob
