Hi All,
Got out again last night.... call me mad!... my wife does. Anyway took a few more images with the Toucam & X3 barlow. The MN56 is performing well & is a very compact/ portable imaging setup - it does however lack aperture/ focal length for planetary imaging (compared with Chris's setup) - I'm still struggling to image the Cassini division on Saturn.. I like the moon shot - check out the 4 mountains in the middle of the large crater.
Cheers, John.

Great images John,

Cheers Tony - What dya mean 6.00am - you can start imaging Saturn around 1'ish...... :-) Seriously though last night was tough - having 4 kids I've got used to surviving on 3 hrs kip... John
