Hey, just testing out my new telescope, I bought a camera mount for it, I think I accidentally got a pic of Saturn, can anybody confirm it?

Maybe you could, accidentally, try to focus it properly?

Yes, Saturn. Download Stellarium, it's a free panetarium program. What 'scope did you get?

>>2846542
Saturn is very near the horizon this opposition (in northern England anyway). Getting a steady image will be rare. Also the stars in the background are in focus.

Thanks

I got a Celestron Nexstar 6se, if it was aligned I'd have know what I was looking at as it's a Go-to computerised scope, but I was just free roaming with from my patio to check the camera mount worked and spotted that.

It does, if you zoomed that in as much as I did in the op, it would be blurry too. And like >>2846635 said, from my location it'snot an ideal time to be trying to capture it.

Without it zoomed in it looks a lot better.

Most of the detail in op image is lost because it's over exposed. Also see how unstable the image is in your webm.

Here's an image from a few years ago when it was higher in the sky. I think it was about 8 photo's stacked. The 'scope is similiar(ish) to yours.

Yeah that looks pretty cool!

I got this pic from Google just now, this was taken through the same scope as mine, I'll have to do a bit of research and find out at what time of year I can get a view of it like this (if possible from here)

Looks like that's a stack from a webcam avi stacked in registax or the Celestron imager thing.

Forgot to mention that Jupiter is still quite high in the sky now but is rapidly sinking into the summer twilight.
