Thanks for the nice words everyone, I was inspired to attempt this photo trickery when I saw Saturn and the moons through the WO 80mm – it looked stunning and I thought I would try to capture this wonderful celestial scene on ccd.

Dave – the small spot left of Titan is either a processing artefact, or sometimes I have noticed that the very smooth optics of the Mewlon reveal lovely diffraction rings and maybe Registax picked up a segment?

Mike – in this instance, hi-res was out of the question so I traversed the image scale all the way down to prime focus, although the native F12 focal ratio does help.

Cheers

Dennis
