Tonights Saturn/Moon conjunction was created by TrevorDurity
Here's Saturn & the moon from about 22:30. They were about 10 arc minutes apart and fit nicely into the field of view of a 5mm Hyperion.

Megrez 90FD + NexImage & IR Cuttoff.

Moon part was @ 5000 frames/sec, Saturn @ 200 frames/sec.
About 1000 frames for the moon and 300 for Saturn.

Oops. 'Twas the B&W Toucam rather than the NexImage.

Took advantage of tonight full moon to do alot of imaging at the windy gap in the Ox Mountains not far from my home trying out some panoramic views for any future Aurora or Noc Clouds. Images bit grainy, any ideas on how to lower level of noise.

Thats some field of view with a toucam, :shock: the 300d on the scope herewould just about give that field of view, Nice image, isnt it a pity it didnt graze or occult.
