  • Thanks for putting this up, well done. It doesn't look like it, but more than 850 Earths could be fit inside Saturn.

  • Is this a refractor or reflector? Very nice vid. Also, what is the webcam magnification equivalent to?

  • It was taken through a 120mm Refractor. The vid was originally taken to stack the frames in to a single image. Hence the webcam brightness settings are set purposely low, it looks horrible. I now have a 10" reflector and hope to upload a much better quality vid of 'The ringed one' sometime soon. In the mean time, there's some quality saturn vids around on youtube :-D

  • beautiful vid. can you give some hints as to what brands of refractor telescopes are best? I would like something like what you have if it is not too pricy though. Thanks

  • @hecdaca2007 this telescope is only £350

  • I have yet to see saturn and i cant wait till i do, i'm a very keen amatuer astronomer and i have an etx 125 which i've only had for a short time. This video taken from a 120 mm gives me great hope for the time that i do.

    Do you have any advice for a rookie?

  • ps forgot to say, the telescope is 1000mm in focal length and a 2x barlow was used so with a webcam the magnification is approx 500x

  • well captured :)
