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?

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.
