I was thinking of doing the Moon and Saturn last night but it clouded right over. I've never webcammed Saturn with my SPC880 and hoping to try soon.


 


Nice to see it back.

It was nice to see it again but it is very small and low this year.

Cheers for the comments.


It was shimering in the eyepiece so it was never going to be easy to focus or capture.


Good capture considering how low it is - is that a dslr shot then Andy? :)

That was with a 200p, 3x barlow and DMK21. Equivelant to about 500x magnification.

Wow - the atmosphere didn't help at all then - I think we need an EMS trip to Australia sometime in the next 6yrs to catch it high.


 


Good to see the tilt again though. :)
