Default Saturn tonight

My first Saturn photos are here for anyone interested:

These are the first 2 process runs from a set of 5 .avis taken tonight with
an LX200GPs 10", 2x barlow and Toucam Pro. Will play with them some more
tomorrow.

For some reason, the laptop crapped out after about 1600 frames per run,
even though I thought I'd captured 3-4000 each time. Serves me right for
using a "retired" Dell laptop, but my "real" laptop died last week.

Anyway - comments and suggestions welcomed so I can get better at this.

I love this hobby, despite this being the first time I got a chance to do it
since I took some pics of Mars back in November. Nice clear skies tonight,
seeing seemed a bit crappy though. Plus some light pollution from shooting
directly over an "A" road about 15 metres away (although not a particularly
busy or lighted one) as I didn't wait until midnight or so when the
positioning would have been better.

Cheers,

Alasdair
