I had my first attempt at Saturn for 08 last night. Had a few problems with the focuser as the focus point was either racked right in using an extension tube or right out without it.

Clouds also didn't cooperate so I only managed to grab about 200 frames in the clear patches. The sky soon clouded over completely and I decided to call it quits. As you would expect the clouds completely cleared by the time I had packed everything up but at least I have something to show for it.

Image captured with the Neximage using 5x powermate. This is the first season I've had the powermate having used a 2x and 3x barlow previously. I'm pleased with the image scale.

Thanks for looking!
