Saturn 10/04/08, my best to date

Captured at 5fps on the spc900 and 5x powermate.

The conditions weren't the best but they were the best I've seen since I bought my scope last March.

Saturn is up at about 53° at 8:30pm here.

cheers

Very nice indeed! excellent image. Lovely colours and banding on the globe and sharp CD in the rings.

Well done!

I can't wait for Saturn above 50deg!

Have to agree, that is some image, if I could half that good I would be laughing, well done.

Hey thanks.
Amazing what can be done with a $100 webcam and a little patience.

I'm really glad I went with the GEM mount because I just know I'd be as frustrated as hell trying to image with a dob mount.

A very nice Saturn Mark! Lots of detail and nice colours.

Well done.
