3rd Saturn

This was taken last night. Afocal, Canon a590is, with 10 inch Skywatcher Dobsonian (non goto, no tracking either!), 6mm TMB II with televue 2x barlow, and 4x optical zoom. Does that make a magnification of 1600?

Stacked 20% of 2082 frames. I didn't think I had the patience for another go, but the seeing seemed pretty good last night. It took me about 40 minutes to get 2082 useable frames. I am thinking of the lazy susan dob mod to make it easier to move the tiny increments that are required!
