Saturn Jan. 5, 08, Panasonic cam at EP, 6" scope

Nowhere as nice as the large ones here; I guess I'm test-driving the mini/economy model :^)

Hi Jason, that's a nice sharp Saturn. Have you tried using a barlow with that 10mm eyepiece? Is this image a single frame from the video or a composite? I imagine the views from down in Florida are incredible. 8O Have a good day, Dan

Hi Jason,

I like your image. The small planet in a wide field captures the feeling of a first look at saturn through a telescope - a magical moment that got many of us hooked on this hobby.

Thanks for posting it!

steady skies,
Alan
