Hi Nath

That is a great image, but, I think it is also cropped.

I have an 8" SCT, and I think the best I have seen image size wise is as though Saturn was an object, about 4mm diameter, at arms length.

That was probably with ~10mm eyepiece (I often use a zoom), 200x magnification.

It is hard to judge apparent size at the time, and harder to rely on memory.

I am usually looking from my backyard, and so I have not been able to convince myself I have definitely seen the Cassini division.
