Thanks David, I used the focus mask on Arcturus before slewing to Saturn. The spike is still very unstable. Next time i will turn on noise reduction whiloe focussing as this averages 2,4,8 frames and has the effect of smoothing out the image (just for focussing).
The C11 is fine, I have a 3 by TV barlow but the seeing wasnt up to it.

Thanks Clayton, Saturn is rather small at the moment. I am pleased with my first few shots and hope to improve. If I am still going in a few months then the seeing should get better as it gets colder. I think the focus was OK as if I view the AVI the image does come into good focus periodically before the seeing destroys it.
Cheers
Paul
