I managed to get a few shots of Saturn with my Meade ETX 125 telescope, just before the wind picked up and lots of clouds blew in. The ETX 125 has a focal length of 1900mm, but with an extension, it increases to 2310mm, and then with my Kinko 1.4x TC, that increases to 3234mm. At that power, the wind causes a lot of atmospheric wavering, and the cloudy haze didn't help either, but I am pretty happy with the results, considering the conditions.
The left image is full-frame, and the one on the right is cropped to 100%. Since they don't list telescopes, I just selected my Tamron 150 - 600mm so I could add this to my gallery.
