While photographing the phases of Venus last summer, I took a little time out to snap a few shots of Saturn. This one was taken on June 30, while the evening glow still colored the sky slightly blue. The camera was on a tripod, up against the eyepiece of the telescope. I didn't record the eyepiece or camera zoom settings. Saturn was not in a preferable location, so this photo is a poor example of what can be done. Since Saturn is at opposition, a better location, I might try to get some better shots tonight.

Bopop, then are you verifying that the "star" that we noted at the eight o'clock position from Moon last night was, indeed, Saturn? How about that other bright object at about 12 o'clock position?
