Two Fuzzy Photos
of
Saturn
Here are two fuzzy photos of Saturn taken just after midnight, EST, on 11 February 2007.
Saturn; 0015 EST; 11 February 2007
Orion XT-12 12-inch Dob reflector, 1500mm f/l
TeleVue Nagler 7mm eyepiece, 214X mag
Sony DSC-P93 Cybershot digital camera
Not much to see here. These photos were taken with a Sony digital camera held up to the telescope eyepiece. Saturn is very visible from my home now and I'll keep trying to get some better photos -- I'll use different eyepieces next and try for a bit less magnification. Still, not bad for just holding the camera up to the eyepiece.
