Second Planetary Astrophoto, Saturn



Saturn, taken 2019, July 25 at (PDT) 12:10:07 am through my Dynamax 8, 2110mm f/10, telescope with a 20mm eyepiece projecting the image into my Olympus Pen-F camera at ISO 2000 and 1/30 sec. exposure. My telescope's RA drive clutch no longer engages, thus this photo was taken without tracking and hence the high ISO leaving the image quite noisy.

Saturn currently sits low in my southern sky in the constellation Sagittarius, so this view is through a lot of coastal atmosphere on a clear moonless night. Click on the image itself to see it in its full-sized glory. This is a telescope's view, inverted; I have not turned it to an upright normal view.
