Default Saturn 04-Apr-08

This is a shot I took of Saturn last night. I had my larger scope out in the Anza area and, while I hoped to use the CCD cam, my remote set-up problems set me toward a quick shot of Saturn before turning to visual observing.

This is 2,400 of 8,000 exposures with a DMK color USB cam through a C-11 and a 4x Powermate. Seeing was 6/10.

The visual observing was fun too, Great views of M 51, M 101, and NGC 2403. But I was also reminded why I like my permanent set-up, even if it is in the city. I am still sore from moving the mount.
