8 out of 10 Saturn and Luna

Last night must have been amongst the best seeing I've had. I would have rated it between 7&8 out of 10. It was so good that all five major moons around Saturn were clearly visable. I know that these pics are not the fantastic standard posted by other members but I'm happy until I can aford the fancy toys! Saturn was at 400X with 5mm and 2X barlow. All pictures hand held with a Olympus 410 compact digital.

Good work, Wade.

It doesn't matter what gear you've got as long as you're out there and having a go, and you are happy

Top effort, and fingers crossed that the nice seeing will arrive here in the next cuppla days

for hand held images these are great results. You should be very pleased. You have obviously also got a very steady hand..what's your golf handicap?

I'd convert the moon images to grey scale, but that is just a personal preference
