Saturn in March, using a Meade ETX125 I was having my usual issues collimating my telescope, and I happened to have the Societies Meade ETX125 in my house following deep sky cam. I was aware the Meade had quite an awful mount but I decided to have a go at imaging using it anyway. After 30 minutes spent focusing the telescope at -5c, I imaged Jupiter and Saturn. With this Saturn image I had to combine three sets of AVI images to get the final result. I believe I've captured the Enckle minima ring as well as the larger ring around the planet.
