Saturn

Here is my latest on Saturn, taken from my backyard early in the yesterday morning. This time I had the Camera in the Optimized Non-Raw mode, which gave me a better color balance by default. The seeing was rather good and I got a very stable stream of images. I am closing the goal of resolving the Cassini division throughout the whole ring. Next step is to boost magnification. I just got my 4x Imagemate from BC&F, which should help on that. I should improve focusing also.
