< Previous Next >At last I got an opportunity to try webcamming into Saturn. This is my first decent Saturn image and I am pretty happy with it. Seeing was quite excellent. Visually Cassini Division was visible all around the ring and I even saw cloud belts in the globe. My new telescope allows more inside focus travel than TAL did, so I could use an extension tube between camera and barlow to boost the magnification. Still, I need more power to get large enough image scale to the originals.
