Vaclav,
This image of Saturn was shot with a SAC-7B using a Celestron NexStar11 GPS. The scope collimation was a bit off as I found out afterward, but the SAC seemed to do a fairly decent job for an very economical little camera. This image was made with 3 single 1/30 second color exposures summed, using one single dark frame. I now have the scope in collimation, but haven't seen anything but the underside of clouds for the last 3 weeks straight. Will post more if I ever get a clear sky.
