Saturn--Taken in May
This is an image of Saturn taken in May with the 14 inch and a Microsoft webcam. Conditions were very unsteady and seeing was poor. I'm putting this up because, honestly, this is most likely the quality you will get with most of your images when you start astroimaging. AVI file of 174 frames processed with Registax.
