My piture of Saturn (recently)
Hello:
Up here in the northern hemisphere we can see Saturn and Mars in the constellation Leo the Lion in the west after sundown.
Saturn of course is near edge-on and so it's rings are near edge-on making it look different.
Saturn1.jpg is of the Edge-on rings.
And Saturn.jpg is a yellow oval-looking glowing thing that is my attempt to photograph it when I had 1.25" eyepiece projection with my Meade and used a yellow filter. This last image was taken when the rings were at a wider and fuller phase.
Besides getting the tracking right, focus and filters does anyone else have any suggestions?
