Here are a couple of pictures I took of Saturn on the night of February 8, 2008 around 9:30 PM in my backyard.

This was my first attempt at using my Celestron NexImage Solar System Imager with my Nexstar 60 SLT Telescope. It ain’t the Hubble, but it is a lot of fun.

I don’t think it turned out too bad for my first time. Could probably clean up the images abit and I have really got to get a steadier hand to focus. I figure with a little more practice I should be able to capture some pretty decent images.

I can actually focus in on Saturn nicely with my 15mm eye piece and 2x Barlow. I can see some great detail even with my small scope.
My daughter and I had a very great night star gazing.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
