My first Saturn of the season

26 degrees up during a rare (for Northern Virginia) moment of average seeing and light haze. 3 point stack of 1100 from 6000. Toucam at prime focus of Royce 16" f18 classical cassegrain. Some Photoshop noise removal, sharpening and light levels. I tried again this morning, but though it was clearer overhead, the low haze in the East was worse.

Cheers,

Nice first effort - with saturn at a higher elevation and good seeing your scope should produce some excellent images. Thanks for posting.
