SAturn and Moons 08.04.08

Hi folks,

I got the opportunity to target Saturn again last night with the new DMK camera. This time, I attempted to capture an exposure of its Moons and then overlay it with exposures for Saturn itself.

This is the result:


Using Starry Nights Pro, I managed to identify the main Moons, however, the unlabled object has me bemused :roll: .......perhaps it is a background star picked up in the moon exposure, however, I still cant identify it. Does anybody have any idea of what it might be?

The time and date as follows: Tuesday 08.04.08, 22.44pm GMT (Daylight Saving), from Cherrymount, Waterford

Thanks for looking.....................

OMG comes to mind. Looks like the camera does what it says on the tin. Nice one. Mimas is in there aswell.

That's nice work Steve. I like that!

Hi Folks

I just realised that I labeled Tethys incorrectly, it should have been the lower of the 2.

I shall amend and repost later :oops:

Excellent collage there Steve, looks almost picture perfect.

FRACKIN HELL!!!!! didnt know things like that were possible with a fancy webcam and a decent scope. i need to get more time out with my set up so that i can justify upgrading to a CG11!!


Fantastic work. well done!
