First Attempt at Saturn

Hello All.

Attached is my first attempt at Saturn,
and my second attempt at astrophotography.

This is a composite of images taken Saturday
morning, October 4, 2003 using a 14" LX200GPS
at f/10. No barlow or eyepiece projection used,
just straight through the telescope. I was happy
that I picked up a couple of cloud bands straddling
the planet.

I could only wish mine turned out this great. Wow! Almost text book. Throw in a barlow and look out. Bring on some more.

Derrick, That is fantastic! What camera did you use? I'm looking to get into this but need to do more research.

Thanks. -Steve House

Derrick-
Can you tell me what settings you use as far as f-stop on the camera and gain?

I use Iris so I'm searching for camera settings.

Thanks
