Description

My first attempt to have a planet framed with stars and not a lonesome black background. Several Saturn Satellites are also visible.

Composition of stacked imaged from 2000 frames, and subs of 1 second, 10 seconds, 60 seconds, and 180 seconds. All with Canon Mark II. Images taken in August 11 around midnight.

I hope that the idea/result is not too off.
