Saturns Moons was created by JohnMurphy
Just mucking about last night so I had a go at catching Saturns moons in the 350D. I know it's not very clean and I had a go at burning to get rid of some of Saturns glare.

Hey nice work John Titan comes out really strong,
do you plan on giving it another try because it would
be nice to see the change in position of the moons
and planet relative to one another.

oh wise man why is the universe so perfect?ah because symmetry loves herself.

Good job John, as Declan suggested maybe you should try a time lapse sequence.

A time lapse sequence would unfortunately depend on the weather. Great idea guys, but it would be a hard one to pull off - for me anyway - as my observing is limited, mostly anyway, to clear skies on Fridays and Saturdays. It does however sound like a worthy project so here is your mission should you choose to accept it.

1. Image the moons of Saturn for 5+ nights in a row.
2. Create an animated GIF and post on these boards.

Hey John, out of curiosity, what set up did you use with the 350D to get this? Nice job capturing so many of the little guys there.
