While experimenting with the pointing abilities of my mount I "discovered" Saturn. So while it was in view I got off a bunch of very short (.001 - .5 second) exposures using the C-14 at it's full 3,900mm focal length and the camera binned 1x1 (finest resolution setting). Seeing was not great and Saturn was only half way up the sky so my result was not that great with little detail and much fuzz: http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/saturn2009mar12.jpg However, I've posted a bunch of FIT images that some of you might want to play with and maybe clean up and stack.
