About this image

I am no planetary astrophotographer but I have been loaned an old Meade LX10 8" SCT by the Hampstead Garden Suburb Astronomical Society and, whilst it's really a visual use scope, I wanted to see if I could capture an image of Saturn with it. Forgot to add an IR cut filter on and was focusing by eye but as a first attempt it came out OK with some banding in the northern hemisphere. Looking forward to trying this again as the planet moves closer.
