1st photos of Saturn

Hi to everybody here.

This is my first post here although I have been a long time reader (and buyer of eyepieces from other members).

These are my first two Saturn pics. Afocal, using a 6mm TMB Planetary II, with 2x Barlow, unguided 10 inch Skywatcher Flextube.

I used my Canon a590is in video mode to take a whole series of clips. It was very difficult to get the telescope in the right place for each clip so that Saturn would drift through the field of view! Focussing was not easy either with that camera.

I used Avidemux, Autostakkert2, Registax and Image Analyzer.

Thanks to Mike for his "Astrophotography with a dob" article, which pointed me in the right direction.
