Imaged with AP 155, Nikon CP950 at 1/2 second exposure, UO 18mm Ortho, 5X Powermate (388X), Scopetronix Digi-T. Images combined using AstroStack freeware (10 for small version, 28 for larger version). I tried not to over-process this image and it fairly accurately reflects the detail I see at the eyepiece on a night of very good seeing, including a faint hint of Saturn's Crepe ring. If you can't detect the Crepe Ring in this image just brighten your computer screen and you'll see it.
