Fascinating...Great video.

I took this shot of Saturn a while back from our back yard observatory when it's rings were more visible from earth...A new camera imagining system this coming summer should provide better for improved planetary imaging.

This was taken with a LX200 Schmidt Cassegrain, using eyepiece projection with LP CLS filters...Canon 40D-ISO 800 1.4 sec exposure...(Series of 10x1.4sec) calibrated, aligned and stacked in DSS.

Nice photo. That’s just a little bit better than I get with my 8” reflector.
