More Astrophotography

We've had some pretty clear skies over the Memorial Day weekend, so I thought I'd go out and do a little imaging.

Around dusk, the crescent moon was stunning. I'm pleased that the blue came out in the image, and the burned in corners from the rim of the telescope give an unexpected depth to the image.

Early the next morning (around 2:00a), I went out to see if I could capture Saturn. This was much more difficult than imaging Jupiter, as it's not only smaller, but roughly twice as far from Earth as Jupiter. We could use a little more light, and magnification for this one.
