I made another attempt at Saturn a few nights ago. Overall, the seeing was pretty bad... transparancy was great, but the air was very turbulent. At any rate, I managed to get enough good frames for a decent image. I sure would like to get a steady night sometime, just to see what this scope is really capable of!
Cheers,
Tyler

Tyler,

A good image of Saturn considering your seeing conditions. If the seeing had been better than the image would have been more detailed. Please keep up the good work.

Very nice image Tyler. Yes, getting that night of really good seeing will make a big difference. Good job!

Tyler,

Nice Saturn, if we had good seeing all the time it would not be so challenging, oh but what fun it would be though grin

Thanks,

Wes Higgins
