After nearly a month of cloudy skies it finally cleared for this one night (when it was nearly full moon).
Saturn-image is composed of 47 images (out of 300 frame avi-file) which were stacked and resampled (2X) with K3 CCD Tools. Lower picture is enlarged from the original result picture.
I tried a new focusing aid which helped improving this picture.
Aid was simply a round cardboard with three holes in front of tube.
