Saturn and moons...

Sometimes it's a nice break to remove the barlow and image at f/10. Last night I managed to capture Saturn and five of its moons. Mimas and Enceladus appear as faint specs in the lower right corner of Saturn, something like magnitude 12.8 and 11.8.

Dwight, nice shot my friend...

Indeed, f/10 is sometimes a break..., larger FOV, more relaxed imaging... and a chance to image moons that could be far apart from the planet body.

Thanks for sharing!


Clear skies,
