Cheers guys. I appreciate the info. I have had the pleasure of seeing Saturn with a 14" SCT way back and yes it was spectacular.
I seen all this with 100x. f/5 with 10mm Plossl eyepiece. I'll put a pic of my scope up in the equipment section.
But, I think I am seeing something. It could be floaters yeah cos I have a few buzzing around. But... I am also no spring chicken cos I made this map of Mars way back during the perihelic opposition and I did this just with my 8" and about 60 drawings, no filters, EEEEEEEEHARRRRRRRR. I'm really proud of it. I did it using the same technique of not ascribing wierd details to coincidence lol. If I reckon I see it, I always write it down even if it shouldn't be there, since I don't believe in coincidence. But yeah I have to acknowledge that the better instruments don't show it.
Nor do any photograph I have seen. It's really awesome you were able to get it up to 1000x. I had no idea such magnifications were possible!
