Saturn with my Telescope

This is my first ever video with my telescope. I shot the planet Saturn using a Celestron 9.25" Schimdt-Cassegrain Telescope and a 2X Barlow lens. Despite being in a light polluted city (Waterloo, ON) and having a full moon, the video turned out better than expected. The planet was held in place using an EQ-6 German Equitorial mount. The video was shot on 02-22-08.

Being able to photograph Saturn was a ten-year dream of mine... I recommend this incredible hobby to everyone.

I can't wait to try filming Saturn with my C8. Just about another couple weeks and it'll be out in the early morning long enough to film!

Thanks a lot. I can also add that videos hardly do justice to seeing the objects directly in the eyepiece with your own eye.
