The bright "star" is actually Saturn. I'm trying my hand at finding Flora and Herculina over the next week of so.

That's Pollux and Castor below it so maybe I should try imaging through my refractor, though its FOV is only about 1 1/2 degrees. It should be big enough. Equatorial mount is probably way to go anyway. I know alt/az will cause rotation but from what I understood You can image up to about 5 min before rotation starts to show
