I've been trying quite this year to get a descent Saturn shot. Most of the time the seeing was average at best and when it was good it was new Moon and I was doing some DSO observing. The full Moon before this past one I got and ok shot that I've just now processed.

It was shot through a Celestron 11" SCT with a Celestron Neximage and a 2X barlow.

I like it Andreas, I'm happy to see the NexImage do the Saturn traffic light: red cloud band, yellow and green band.

Regards, Jason H.

Andreas, nice image! I never really got good seeing either for Saturn. Good luck with Jupiter seeing in the months ahead

Regards,
Steve
