I could see the cassini division really well, and I could see some detail on the planet itself. I have seen this before, but never at 480x. You know those really good clear pictures of Saturn you see in magazines etc. It looked just like that. Better than I thought possible through my Dob.

Tried to hold my digicam up to the eyepiece but just couldn't get anything decent out of it. I am working on a round-about way of using my digicam as a video camera and am going to mount it to the eyepiece. I have downloaded DP's guide to processing and when I work out a way of attaching my camera will try some shots. Watch this space!
