12'' Dob Afocal images (Saturn and moon)

Hi Everyone,

Its been a long time since I have done any astrophootgraphy since I am usually a visual observer only, but seeing the majestic view of saturn I decided to give it a go.Using my 12'' dob with a 6mm TMb planetary ep which yielded a magnification of 250x.I then holded the camera to the ep and took several vids.I then put it onto the computer and selected still frame shots which I liked and edited them.

With the moon I just took a still frame shot at the ep through a 26mm plossol.

I know these are very poor images compared to the proffesional planetary photgraphers on IIS,but I decided to share it with you anyways.

Hope you like them
Cheers Orestis
