Had to stay up last night & take a picture of saturn - I think it's been a few years since I last imaged this. Saturn was still very low & had barely cleared neighbours trees when I imaged so it's not the best. The rings have really started to close so Cassini Division isn't very clear (seeing didn't help) - Not bad for first attempt. Image taken with MN56 + ToUcam & X3 barlow - approx 200 images stacked (needed more) - Hopefully get better images latter in the year. Image resized X200%

Cheers,  John

Very nice - i'd be happy with that one.
