Saturn, Venus, Moon, Holmes / November 1st

[Sedna]

Hi guys,

A week ago I took some pictures of different objects.The conditions were good all the time.But this weekend the winter is coming and there are no chances to observe the sky.

Anyway, here is an image of the half Venus.

My first Saturn.The flat position of the rings is very nice.

Used equipment: 200/1200 Dobsonian; ToUcam Pro II + IR-Pass screen and a 3x barlow lens; processed in RegiStax and Photoshop.

Exception: For the moon pictures I used a 2x barlow lens

Nicely done Sedna. I particularly like the ToUcam effort on Comet Holmes.
