Nice photos, particularly with just a camera rather than a telescope.

Nearly got the shot... Was too lazy to adjust exposure and blend

my attempt at Saturn, you can see its moon titan above and to the right. A single shot.

It is more difficult to find the target and keep it in the viewfinder at 600mm. Maybe you found it at 450mm and didn't zoom. Were you shooting on a tripod?

Impressive to capture Saturn showing its rings. Did you crop the image at all? Just wondering how big it is in the viewfinder since I never attempted to find it.

Agree, it’s a very impressive capture, particularly as you have captured Titan as well, as it’s so much smaller than Saturn.
Surely it must have been at 600mm?

@hark

Teeny-tiny dot until you enlarge it some, and with poor sky conditions you might get a small, oddly shaped blob. That is when you know you have Saturn in view. Enlarge it a little more, and you can see the rings. When you spot Saturn in the sky, it is a small, dim dot that looks like a star, and it is easier to find when it is near something like the moon or a constellation. Once you find it, you can always find it. Use Live-View and zoom in.

Tonight, it is rising at about 7:45 and is near Jupiter. I have an app called Sky Guide on my phone to ID objects that I don't recognize. Right now, I am standing on top of Saturn.

When I locate my Saturn images, I'll post one to show you what it looks like before enlarging it.

@hark I dumped my original Saturn NEF because it wasn't worth keeping. If I shoot it again, I'll post it. Clouds tonight.

Wowzer, I'm impressed with how much you were able to crop and enlarge your image!
