Saturn and Titan18 viewsThe seeing is really good tonight so I took a picture of Saturn. This is from a 5 minute video using a Meade LPI and my 114 mm Celestron F8 FirstScope with a 5X barlow. Assuming the camera chip is equivalent to a 6 mm eyepiece, the equivalent magnification = 760 X..... Not too many nights around here that one can use that kind of power!
