Thanks for the link. I hadn't thought about the exposure
challenge, which is obvious in this photo. Our eyeball-
to-telescope view was much better, with more detail on
Saturn, its rings and more tiny stars as well. The
weather's gone foul here, or I'd be outside again tonight.

I hope some other photographers will take up the
challenge. I'd love to be able to show our non-
skywatching friends what it was we were seeing.
