Saturn

It's been a long time since I had an opportunity to do some real imaging. Weather was nice and would have been good for DS imaging also, but I decided to go for Saturn instead. I had both my battery packs broken so I had to take power from my car. Seeing was pretty nice during the session. I took few 2500 image series and here is the result from one of them. Cassini division is still nicely visible, also in eyepiece.
