Saturn 5th April

Tonight was first light for my new 4x Powermate.
When it arrived this morning, I went outside to the postie to sign for the parcel, and the rain gods actually started spitting on me!!!
But luckily by dusk, the sky was clear so I could start playing with the new toy.
And let me say I am one very happy astro chick. I'm in love!! What a piece of kit this is.
Anyway, this is it's first offering. This is a work in progress, there are only 1000 frames stacked. Tomorrow I'll process the rest.

Finished off my first light image. 2000 frames stacked. Phew.
My next challenge is capturing the Enke Gap. I won't be happy until I get some fine detail within the ring system.
