Tom, this image is another fine example of how a DSLR can be used as a viable alternative to specialized planetary webcams; I especially like the blue color differentiation in the NTrZ. There is no one I know of who does better Saturn imaging with a DSLR than yourself.

A fine effort for a DSLR on a Dob.
Well done Tom.

Thats a very good result Tom, noticed stars were not as twinkly for once, storm still clearly shown.

Still turning out good stuff Tom. You must have a good horizon in the NW
