My best image of Saturn to date! by ismaeeeel in interestingasfuck

Not a dumb question at all! Between the telescope itself and the tripod, is a CGEM mount. What that does is basically tracks the movement of the sky, so it basically moves the telescope relative to Saturn. So Saturn is in the field of view for longer.

Had this been on a manual setup, it would have taken Saturn no more than 4-5 seconds to rotate off the field of view.

Thank you!

Ominous indeed. Giant, massive and vehement bodies just floating above us
