Moon & Saturn - DBK21 first light

Took the plunge and bought the DBK21.618 to try out planetary photography. The DBK21 it was quite easy to install & setup.

Still learning what all the settings are, took all the images using Y800 and 60fps, approx 1000 frames each. Is Y800 format B&W only?

Stack them in Registax 6.0, again have no idea how to use Registax. Saturn looks blurry, could barely make out the Cassini division, not sure if I didnt focus properly or it was bad seeing. The moon looks better though.

Scope: LX90 8"
Saturn taken with 3x barlow
Moon taken at prime focus

Minor processing & crop with Photoshop.
