Thanks Trevor but I thought that while the moon is up I may as well image it and Saturn but the seeing is really bad until it gets near the zenith.

Hi Allan

Your Saturn images are excellent with a very impressive image scale and you’ve grabbed a couple of great shots of Clavius and Moretus in the Southern Highlands.

Thanks for posting your camera settings logs, it’s good to compare notes! I had a play with Firecapture but it keeps freezing on me so I’m sticking with SharpCap for the time being. Both apps are excellent and do the job extremely well, kudos to their authors.

Cheers

Thanks Dennis. I just love to see the C ring comming through as it's always been ephemeral for me in the past. I was tootling around the moon trying to see something worthwhile, but then I realized it was all good in the scope.
Thanks for your kind comments as i really enjoy seeing your images and it's always something different from the mainstream.

Seems I'm a tad late, but nice results despite by the looks of things, average seeing.
