Saturn & Moons 22 Aug 99

This image was taken with a 2X barlow, giving an effective focal ration of f20.  . The view is similar to view you will have in an 8-10" scope at about 200 power, except the moons may appear slightly brighter, because the image is a combination of two separate exposures.  One for the planet and a longer exposure to pick up the moons.   The image is blurred slightly due to seeing.   Click here to go back.
