Same Saturn different telescope

Last night in Melbourne's chilly night air I took some video with my trusted Canon 550d through the SW Esprit 100. With only 550mm of native focal length to play with, I had to crank up the magnification with a 6mm eyepiece and 2xBarlow to get an image size that was usable. Seeing was average.

Seeing must have been better in Melbourne than Heathcote that night as I could barely split the Cassini division!
Nicely captured with a 4" .)
