Thought this may interest you. This is my first attempt at photographing the planet Saturn using a Schmidtt Cassegrain Meade LX-200, eyepiece projection using an MA 25mm eyepiece and a tele-extender, Fuji 400 1.5 second exposure, taken with an Olympus OM-1 camera.

I know, it's out of focus. Focusing is critical and my next shots should show surface or atmospheric gas/cloud bands. I am currently experimenting with different types of focusing techniques.

It's so out of focus it resembles a red "x". ;-D

I tried copy/pasting the pic URL and tripod says no such page. Is the URL right?
