Arrow My very first Saturn!! Woo Hoo!
After actually capturing DSO's without tracking I gave Saturn a go.

This is my first Saturn on my 2nd night out with the Toucam.
Was getting a bit cloudy so I only just made it.

Yep, but I just couldn't capture the Cassini division. But it is only my first one!
Thanks for all the encouragement Mike!
Thanks Dennis

Nice one Ken - saturn is tough to get details without tracking, but
I see you caught at least one cloud belt on the planet.

Awww! Gosh!

The kids are rapt in the pics. They also like watching the images glide across the screen in Media Player! I re-did the Saturn pic with Harry and got him to pick the levels. Funny thing is that his pic ended up exactly like mine!!!!

I am doing an Astronomy show & tell at my boys school tomorrow. I will show them the videos too! I am taking my dob to show the school kids how a reflector works. Will be fun.
