It was a good night for Saturn in my neck of the woods. Good seeing and no wind. It's produced my best image so far. It's not that there is more details than in the previous one, but it's substantially less noisy.
Thank you very much guys for your encouragements. Even if I was lucky enough to get a good picture I am still pretty much a beginners as far as AP is concerned.
I have found Jupiter such a struggle this year, but Saturn has been a joy so far.
As to getting filters, well I still haven't acertained if I have enough focus on my stock SW focuser to allow for a filter wheel.
Nice sharp image, Eric. Definitely go ahead with the filters. You can always move the mirror up the tube a little. Loss of peripheral illumination won't mean much for planetary photography. You can probably manage a slightly larger image scale too.
I don't think there is much down our way in relation to groups. Most activity seems to be in the north, I am aware that ASSA has an observation site in Tooperang but that's about it!
I did mention in one of my earlier posts in a different post/thread that I would be interested in starting a group or a local get together by Southern Adelaide Astronomers, as there seems to be a few on IIS.
But didn't get much interest.
May be I will start a new thread to see if I could gather any interest further.

Well, I have signed up with the Flinders Uni astro club, but no meeting has been organised so far.
I wouldn't mind meeting like-minded people in the southern suburbs. I would be happy to be part of a get together if you want to organise something. If not I'll be happy to meet you.
, By far your best keep em coming
