Mother Nature was very uncooperative though. Seeing was poor and there were some cirriform clouds complicating things. I used my Celestron 11 GPS with a Canon Power Shot SX210 camera and a 52mm long eye-relief eyepiece (eyepiece projection mode). The camera was in auto mode. Next time I will try it in program mode to better control exposure and focus. This is a raw image, no processing. So without further adieu, here'ssss.....Saturn.

Cpuldn't have been more than 30* altitude and it's a single frame afocal with point n shoot? I would say that's pretty darn good!

That setup would probably be fantastic on the moon.

I love your posts. Yep it is a single frame, one of the better ones and yes it is a point and shoot camera afocal style. We now have total cloud cover and a front moving in so no imaging in the AM. Time for a long near-winter nap for me Post Extras:       Edward E professor emeritus Reged: 03/26/06 Loc: Tucson, Arizona Re: My very humble Saturn shot [Re: edsplace]       #5561720 - 12/08/12 11:55 PM Attachment (19 downloads) Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Thank you edsplace and funny you should mention the moon. I did image it this morning as well. Here is a shot of the moon with the same setup at ~ 4:30 MST. I also love your work and posts to.

Man, just look at those rings open up...can't wait for Saturn to get higher. Thanks for sharing Clear Skies, Brian Post Extras:       Pages: 1
