A ccd image of saturn taken on a night with the moon close by and full. Light polution and a bright moon do not inhibit planetary observations much at all. This is a .5 second exposure 1 each of RGB taken with the 11" scope and my ST5C ccd camera and combined using "Gimp" for windows.The images were taken thru a 2X Barlow lens to increase image scale . Though not as good as I would like to see there are a few details visible . Planetary imaging is by far more challenging than deep sky imaging and requires a very steady atmosphere. The advantages of ccd cameras comes in the ability to take very short exposures as short as .01 second essentially "freezing" atmospheric turbulance giving a much clearer image. Still the art of focusing the camera can be very tricky and time consuming as opposed to conventional astrophotography!
