Saturn is the second-largest planet in the solar system, with its spectacular rings. It has one large moon, called Titan, that is frequently visible in small telescopes.
All of these were taken with my Orion StarMax 102mm Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope (1300mm focal length or f/12.7) on an EQ-2 equatorial mount with motor drive, with a camera mounted directly to the telescope.
