This is my first Saturn image that looks recognizable : ) I quit trying (for !%@% forever) with my EOS DSLR which was simply an impossible goal I suppose. This was a Toucam ?840k? with K3CCD through my TEC160. K3CCD did all the challenging work and I optimized the RG and B channels individually in Photoshop. It's really little I know, but small steps.. small steps.

I guess I'm going to need some discipline to get better, writing down frame rates and resolutions and gain settings etc.

Small, but sharp and pretty too. Looking forward to seeing more from your 160.

Very nice. You might want to get a IR/UV blocking
filter, if not using one already -- just an idea.
