About this image

Digging deep into my archives I found my first image of Saturn taken in 2010 when the rings were almost at the same angle as they are at present. In those days I was relying on a Canon 7D, a diagonal, 2x Barlow and my 12inch LX200GPS on its original fork mount. Technology has come a long way since Saturn has returned to the same orientation in the sky!
