| I've not had a
great deal of luck with Saturn over the years despite best efforts and so many others have
done so well. Either the nights I've chosen suffered poor seeing or I was too late to hook
up the camera to capture the best moments seen at the eyepiece. Still, below are a few
results from the backyard and elsewhere taken over the years. |
