< Previous Next >Finnish November skies are really trying to make it hard time to me. I was planning to image Saturn and Moon until the sunrise, but as usual when I got my camera focused, clouds covered the moon. I decided to move onto Saturn and wait for a hole in cloud cover. It paid off and I got 900 images. Too bad I didn't had time to carefully set up the capture in a hurry. Seeing was mediocre.
