@Night: San Diego. Saturn !!!

While Jupiter and Venus are lighting up the western sky, Saturn is rising in the south east. Saturn's rings are fully facing the earth ( checkout  Lord of the Rings ) and I hope to do more imaging of Saturn through the summer.

Saturn is just 1.2 billion Kilometers from earth :)

My first video capture of Saturn!  Any jittering and rotation you perceive are due to atmospheric disturbances :)

Play the video to watch Jupiter as it drifts across my telescope's eye piece. My first ever attempt to record a video of a planet! Jupiter has at least 67 moons !!! The 4 dots you see in the video are known as the Galilean moons. They are the largest 4 moons (Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto) of Jupiter and were discovered by Galileo around January of 1610.
