Wow. Very nice Giorgio 
So that is with just the 9.25 and the SPC900?? No barlow or PowerMate?
Very impressive.
It's great that we have a few Italian astronomers with us at IceInSpace. 
Would like more details about Metaguide

They are scrumptious images, Giorgio. I have seen a lot of images of Saturn this season, but few have caused me to "ooh" and "ahh" like yours. Well done, and thanks for sharing. Lovely soft, sharp, true colour images.

Just awesome. Really impressed with the detail you have captured. Can I ask how what software did you use to capture the video? Also what method do you use to focus? What is impressive is the sharpness in the image, your focus seems spot on.
Regards

Great images! What's this? You have better images than what your already posted? You must be pulling our leg or you have been aboard Cassini imaging Saturn close up haven't you

OMG!!!! 
Look at that Cassini Division. That's as crisp and clean as any I've seen this season.
Superb!
