A little Saturn and Venus from this morning

Little, literally

These were captured this morning with a 2x barlow, with my DMK21AF04 and 12" newt. The image was fairly stable at the shorter focal lengths. Passing clouds and variable seeing combined with the low altitude would've made long focal length imaging a frustrating experience.

So here's a couple of quick images.

Interesting to note, both Saturn and Venus are almost the same angular diameter as seen from Earth righ tnow (Venus 19" and Saturn 18").

Thanks for looking.
