First ever Saturn

[little legs]

Hi all,

Had a rare clear night last night and actually managed to stay up past my bedtime:wink: Went out to capture some avi's of the Moon and lost track of the time(as you do!) when i noticed Saturn was high enough to be seen above the trees. Only grabbed a few due to time, found it very easy to pick up on the ccd unlike Mars,lol.
Have only stacked n processed 2 avi's so far very quickly. I'm rather chuffed with myself for my first, and if you look close enough(squint n tilt your head,LOL) you can just make out the Cassini gap(or it could just be me, staring long enough and making myself see it)

Celestron 4 SE @f13, 2x barlow , Toucam pro. 1050 frames stacked in Registax4 n processed in Gimp2.4. 1st image is at 150% n 2nd 100%.
