Moon & Saturn

Moon - Saturn conjunction, 22nd May 2007. 2-image mosaic obtained with Philips Toucam Pro webcam on Pentax SDHF refractor. Bad weather for planetary imaging: bad seeing and cloudy and hazy sky.

    Thank you so much, grazie a tutti!

    phalaris66: no, l'impronta dell'uomo sul suolo Lunare! :-D Comunque il seeing e la trasparenza erano davvero tremendi!

    SuperMarina: I'm quite happy of this result also because thin clouds screened the Moon.
    Anyway my idea was to shoot Saturn with larger magnification, thus I tried it with a barlow lens but atmospheric turbulence deteriored resolution.
