First Saturn of the Season

After a late start, Saturn being past opposition already, I finally managed to capture my first images of the season two nights ago. Mostly I’m still using the same kit that I’ve always used for planetary imaging — a 127 Mak on an EQ3-2 mount, but now I’m using the ASI120MC camera rather than my trusty SPC900. Here’s the result. I think it’s the best Saturn image I’ve ever captured, so I’m rather pleased.
