Posted April 12, 200817 yr Saturn This was my first try at astrophotography. Please be kind. Here is the moon at the same magnification for comparison.

April 12, 200817 yr You should try getting out in a more rural area where you don't have the ambient light or the "heat shimmer" that rises up from cities. I learned that from the guy who runs the Perkins Observatory near Delaware. Cool shot of the Moon. What kind of a telephoto lens were you using? Or did you use a camera on a telescope mount?
April 13, 200817 yr I used an 8" diameter reflector telescope with a point-and-shoot digital camera focused through the eyepiece.
April 13, 200817 yr Very cool. I love the way that Saturn is catching the light. It almost seems to be glowing from within.
