... compared to numerous others here vastly superior to mine, I'm showing these only to show what can be done if you are patient and have a fair idea...
Mars and Saturn, shot with a compact camera (yes, a compact) - handheld. These are single shots straight out of the camera.
The scope is a 7" f/15 Mak at 330X on an altaz mount - with no tracking either, just manually pushed. Admittedly the mount is a good one, vibration is very absent and the seeing here in Sydney tonight was exceptionally steady.
