Saturn from tassie - thats about it from me this season
I really do not like saturn........it is way too hard!
Not enough light coming thru from my toucam to get any decent size.
But anyway, i can say I have posted something......now onto jupiter
Seeing was not good. taken at 10fps, 5x powermate in a 1250mm dobbie with toucam

Saturn is tough at the moment, any image is a good image from Down Under.
Never Fear - Jupiter's (almost) Here!

Nice scale though David, what was the local altitude of Saturn in the image?
Weather here has been astro-awful, havent had the chance to gain much toucam experience with this target at all yet.
Great to seet it!
