Saturn was a 4 min grab and Jupiter a 1 1/2min grab. Had the seeing and transparency been better, the result may not have been too bad.
Curious as to how you've setup your RX100 for afocal imaging? Do you have an adaptor? Commercial or DIY?

I have same camera, great little prosumer compact which I'd love to use for afocal work for dead simple imaging... I've explored a few options for attachment but, nothing has really worked satisfactorily
