(Blurry) Saturn

Here’s my latest attempt at Saturn. It looks sharper through the eyepiece, so I’m sure I should be able to do better.

A picture of Saturn, still annoyingly blurry.

I’m thinking about buying myself a 5x Powermate, which will mean fewer things hanging off the back of the telescope, meaning that the camera will be in a better position for focusing (presently I have to have my Barlow lens almost hanging out of the back of the ’scope in order to get the CMOS sensor in the focal plane—well, to the extent that it actually is, anyway).
