Saturn image, simulated eyepiece view and short video illustrating the seeing that night at
http://home.att.net/~dpersyk/new.htm

Please take a look.

I would like feedback on the simulated eyepiece view – I tried to process the eyepiece image to reflect what I saw. Is this what Saturn looks like to you?

I was utterly amazed at the results given the poor conditions. The webcam is a very forgiving instrument for planetary imaging indeed!

Clear skies,

Nice image Dennis.

I noticed you have several unguided
60 and 45 second exposure deep sky
objects with an LX-90. Did you have
you have to tune your drives, or are
those unguided images from an "out-of-
the-box" LX-90?
