Awesome photo!

I'm amazed that you can distinguish between the planet itself and its rings from a single shot. What lens did you use?

But my 100-400 with 1.4 teleconverter would come close to this

Very nice! I have a 900mm f/11 scope, a little tight for full moon shots!

Yeah this was using the 600mm as a prime with no eyepiece. 25mm takes me to full frame moon and would have left Saturn out.
I should have waited longer for Saturn to be closer but I'm new to this astrophotography game. It was just too cold to stay out

Awesome! Funny how Saturn can be that small and still take a photo up a notch by including it! Moons looks great too. Thanks for sharing ;-)a
