You had an incredible first night with your new scope. You must have gone to bed a happy camper! This is a spectacular image too.

Congratulations on your new scope. How have you mounted it? A long focal length is great for high res planetary observing, but along with it (in a refractor) comes some inconvenience. Would love to see a picture of your set-up when you have the chance.

clear skies,

saturn 5 november

Posted By Alan Friedman
Hi Jan -

Anyone who is lucky enough to capture a sharp saturn in fine seeing has many more nights when a good night's sleep would have been a better choice smile. Your shot is a fine result given your seeing conditions. Hang in there - the good nights are ahead!

Nice work! You know you have a high res shot when you stop seeing the horse and start seeing a black cloud of dust obscuring the bright nebula behind it. Beautiful image.

A very exciting observation and great sketch. I hope you will be able to find this white oval again and share your comments with us on its changes.
