... another Saturn ...

CCD vs Film? Lots of time vs no patience? Alright, this is your place to discuss all the astrophotography what's and what's not. You can discuss about techniques, accessories, cameras, whatever....just make sure you also post some nice photos here too!

... another Saturn ...

Post by JY »

Here is another Saturn, taken on 27 February, thin haze at high altitude, 10" LX200R + Toucam at f30.

There are 3 moons in the image ... try and find them!
