Saturn - first serious attempt

Decided to try and image Saturn last night. First time I have tried planetary imaging with the SCT. I spent some time beforehand trying to get the collimation of my SCT "just right". Not sure if it is properly aligned yet, but it is better than it has been.

Imaged using a Celestron 8" SCT and webcam. Used the helpful guide posted by iceman and just followed the instructions. This is really useful for beginners - so easy to follow.

I am pretty happy with this initial result but think I can do better.

Any comments are greatly appreciated and welcome.
