Imaged at Perth Observatory using the Public Viewing Celestron 14" Perth Observatory fitted a Moonlite SCT focuser to their public viewing Celestron 14" which gives much finer focusing control than the old mirror focuser. This was my first attempt using it and is a huge improvement over my first attempts on Mars a month earlier.

Imaged at Perth Observatory using the Public Viewing Celestron 14" Thin high and variable cloud,and Saturn still quite low in the East. Still, this is my best image of Saturn to date.
