Two nights ago we finally had a night in South Jersey that allowed me to spend more than a few minutes outside. I managed to get about two minutes of video on my Nikon DSLR and pushed it through Registax to come up with an image that I'm pretty proud of:



With a 130mm / ~5in scope, should I be able to see the Cassini division? This was with a 9mm eyepiece and a 2x Barlow.

Just want you to know that this picture fills me with the same magical feeling that looking right at Saturn through the eyepiece of a small scope does, where it sinks in that Saturn is a real place that's actually out there, and not just a collection of abstract characteristics or a special effect created in a studio. :cheers:

the Whirlpool galaxy 10 unguided exposers at 1 minute 50 seconds 1600 iso each

And the Sombrero Galaxy 10 exposures 80 seconds each 800 iso



God I haven't been keeping up with this thread, but those are some gorgeous photos. Gwaarrk's remind me of GalaxyZoo imagery, and I'm on mobile but from here, thestoreroom's pics look coffee table book quality.

OMG yes Saturn! It's been a while since I've looked at Saturn and seen Titan, but I think this smudge is about the right distance? Probably some sort of artifact but there's nothing like it in the rest of that image:



Ugh I feel dirty now, like I'm hunting UFOs.

I know this isn't super amazing so please forgive me. My 70mm refractor was just slightly out of focus because of how utterly nervous I was about missing it :shobon:

This is incredible, seeing what those red spots were up close :allears:
