Saturn 1st attempt

I decided to try using my Canon MV400i minidigital camcorder to capture an image of Saturn a few nights ago and this is the result. I mounted the camera on a tripod next to the eyepiece of my 10inch Newt on EQ6, a bit fiddly but quite pleased with the image.
Processed with Registax3 and Photoshop5.5

Steve, the colour is really nice.
How many frames did you stack?

I'm not sure to be honest, it's the first time I have used Registax !
