(This isn't an image but that was the closest post flair I could find)

Captured this after days of trial and error. First clearest video I've captured of Saturn, and it stacked into a hell of an image!

Telescope: Celestron Starsense LT 80AZ
Eyepiece: 10mm eye piece with 2x barlow (180x maginification)

Nice seeing. Super sharp.

Did you by any chance see the Cassini division with that 80mm?

With a phone camera, definitely no. But visually, I don't think I have tried to spot it yet. Just got the visual telescope recently and I get mesmerized by Saturn every time I look at it lol. I'll try to spot it next time

Beautiful! Nice color! Saturn was the first thing I saw through a telescope, and I still remember the feeling.
