First planetary image - Saturn with DSLR movie mode
Hi there Everyone,

Finally got some clear skies in Melbourne on Sunday so I thought I would set up for some casual viewing. When I looked at Saturn through the eyepiece I was amazed at the detail of the planet and the magnification I was achieving. Sure enough we had some lowish jetstream so I thought I would have a crack at my first planetary image using a DSLR. So here it is :

Scope : APM 130mm LZOS Triplet Apo F6
Camera : Modded Canon 550D (Astrodon)
Barlow : Baader FFC (at about 4x)
Captured in Backyard EOS in Planetary mode
Also had the IDAS LP2 filter in place

As always comment/critique always welcome
Clear skies,
Lucas
