Well, I did my first photo of Saturn the other night when it was butted up beside Venus. I found that my lens was to magnified to get both planets, so I ended up with just a shaggy photo of Saturn. Nothing to write home about mind you.
I think if I raise the iso up a notch on the camera, it will make the light of the planet more pronounced. Maybe more of the ring will be evident. Still, I was surprised to get what I got.
In the picture you can see a fragment of the ring disecting the planet on an angle.
As I say, it looked wonderful with a naked eye viewing through the lens. It's the camera photo which really let me down. I could even see colours with the naked eye view.
