Saturn and Moons This was my first attempt at Saturn and its moons, for this image I used prime focus to get a wide field view and took two series of images. The first image of Saturn was 200 frames the moons we're 400 frames with the web cam amp at 50% exposure 1/33rd of a second. Link-words: Saturn
