Well I really didnt think the pic was that good

Anyhow my appologies for not posting the rest of the info about the image, I know I hate it when looking at space pics and there is no info about the scope/pic etc. In furure I will remember to add all the details.

Scope: Meade 8' LX90
Camera: Meade LPI with 2x barlow
Time taken: aprox 12am - 1am
Date 19th Feb
Location: Port Macquarie

The pic was from a processed AVI that was captured with K3CCDTools, duration was 1m 40sec. Processing was done in Registax using davidpretorius' guide and the pic was also resampled.
In total I have about 5GB of images/AVI's from the one night/morning, did Saturn, Jupiter, Mars and poked a little of the moon
Mars, Jup and the moon was just to play around and learn some more about using the camera and software (Autostar Envisage and K3CCDTools).

A bitmap (1.1MB) of the image can be found at www.portmac.com/Sat_0001.bmp, it appears to show another moon that this not evident in the JPG.

@ davidpretorius
I have uploaded the AVI (RARed) and if you wish to poke it you can get it from the following link, NOTE...it is nearly 70MB

@ Robert_T
It was all done in the one shot (AVI).
