Saturn on May 1st, 2017
Saturn imaged the night of May 1st in good seeing conditions. 7x90 sec videos derotated, about 14,000 frames averaged using AS!3. At the middle of the imaging sequence (around 2:56 am local time) Saturn was about crossing the meridian at 66 degrees of elevation. The polar hexagon is faintly visible being at the limit of the aperture resolving power. C9.25 + TV Powermate 2.5x - ZWO ASI224MC - iOptron CEM60 - Singapore
Saturn in January 2005
Saturn imaged in January 2005 with an inexpensive color webcam (Philips Vesta Pro) and a Celestron C9.25 @ F30 (TV barlow). It is a quite crude image for today's standard, it was taken at the beginning of the "video revolution" (aka lucky imaging) that is now the common way of planetary imaging. Very good seeing conditions. Taken from Monte Labbro, Italy.
