Planetary imaging first attempt -- Saturn

Captured on 09/06, best 60 or so frames out of 600. Seeing was not ideal and a fairly poor quality star diagonal was used to support the Televue 4x barlow, which made focusing difficult. I'm fairly happy with it for an initial attempt.

Camera used on this one was an Atik Titan Mono, 0.7s exposure times.

Great first attempt. Cassini division looks great. Well done!

Nice job. Focusing is probably 80% of the battle. I spend a lot of time waiting for my reflector to stop shaking after each focuser tweak.
