Subject: Saturn with 4 moons

Hi folks;

I finally got my HEQ5 mount drift aligned last night after bringing it

back from my Christmas vacation trip.

Since Saturn was above 30 degrees when I finished, I tried imaging it

at prime focus and with a 2x barlow too. Turublence was a little bit

better than average, but still I captured nothing worth posting (or so

I thought).

However I could just make out Titan in the prime focus images (shot at

30 fps), so I log stretched them and much to my surprise brought out 

three more of saturns moons (Mag 9.5 to Mag 10.2).

This image is all one and saturn is not pasted into the image like

I've done in the past. I just log streched it bring out the moons and

left the structure of Saturns rings in it.

TTYL..
