Really good Saturn image, with great details and color. Seeing conditions must be really good over these in Europe -- I can't imagine ever captruring that much detail around here.

That's a beautiful image Chris! I think I see the CD almost all the way around. Wish mine was that good.

Thanks 
I swear it is the scope Thomas! I've never had it easier imaging the planets! The 127MAK is just fantastic and easy to use.

Well I'll have to dig out my Meade DSX-125 & give Satrun a shot with it. I have never tried to use it for imaging. I usually use the LX.
