Hi all,

Here is the first image from October 14th. I still have several more from September, but I wanted to see how the quality of the images would be from October.

Hi everyone,

Here is another image from October 14th. It is under a very similar Sun angle as Wes Higgins' superb image and it was taken a month after his, too bad it doesn't have the same resolution. grin

My first Saturn of the season

Posted By Edward Roach
Hi all,

I got up to image the Moon this morning and after getting several promising streams, I decided to try for Saturn. The seeing was not as good for Saturn as it was earlier for the Moon, but still very good.

Copernicus

Hi all,

Another shot from October 14th. I applied more sharpening than I usually do with my images, but it just appeared too soft to me. Hopefully it doesn't appear overprocessed.

Cassini

Hi all,

Here is my first image from November 11th. That night I probably had the best seeing I've had under the moon. Here's hoping to more nights like that:-)
