How do you get the Moons to show up?

Hello,

One thing I have noticed, is that the moons of Saturn do not show up in my pictures. They are clearly visible when looking into the eyepiece only. How do I get them to show up without over exposing the image. Do you take a picture way over exposed to get the Moons to show up and then digitally combine it with the final stacked image?

Thanks in advance for any help.

John

John,

You hit the nail on the head! The moons are too dim to capture both properly exposed in the same image.

Same thing with Jupiter.
