Ok guys.... I stood out there for an hour and a little bit to get this.
I have a Dobsonian telescope, which means imaging is a LOT harder, because I don't have a mount that tracks planets. I need to follow the planet manually, and they move.. FAST. I mean like, 15 seconds and they are out of imaging site.
So after literally freezing my toes off (they are actually in pain...), I managed to get this. This is without the 2x magnification lens, because that's a different beast... trying to track a planet while it's double magnified is something else.
Anyways, my first ever image of Saturn, I will have better in the future, I promise you! This is the best I can do atm!

I think it could have been a lot better, I was sooooooo cold, my hands were frozen solid, it took so long to track the planet manually.

Well I appreciate you getting the shot for me! :)
(Well I know it was for more than me, but I appreciate it no less! :hug: )
