I can't compete with the big mirror guys, but I tried anyway.
Sunday, 11 Mar offered some fantastic seeing, rare for Northern VA. I endeavored to image Saturn with my newly acquired Takahashi TOA 130, 5x barlow and a ToUcam Pro II webcam. Attached find a test run from a group of images I was able to capture before high clouds stole the night. Image is a stack of 826/1104 frames. Stack program was K3CCDTools and I finished up with Photoshop CS2.

Carpe Noctum
Mortal as I am, I know that I am born for a day. But when I follow at my pleasure the serried multitude of the stars in their circular course, my feet no longer touch the earth.
