Well, I had intermittent clouds, plus the mount I was using is not something that can hold on to the 8" F5 too long (EXOS 2GT pmc8)
I also wanted to test my new tiny micron camera - new from ZWO the ASI715MC planetary camera.
I used a 2X barlow from amazon (sbvony branded I think)
Took me a while to find Saturn, since I don't have a finder scope and my guider scope is not aligned with the main tube, since I was in a hurry to image before it got more cloudy.
It's not easy to find the Saturn with the tiny camera barlowed-even if the scope seem to be dead on pointing at it !
Anyway, I did a bunch of 2 minute videos , this one was over 13 gigabyte .ser file and turned out the best out of the rest.
best 45% of frames selected (autostakkert, then registrax) camera was chugging around 58fps
I still lack processing skills, especially with annual breaks between my lessons.
