Capturing Saturn coming Mersing

This coming Mersing Trip, I am going to try capturing saturn for the 1st time. Actually this was the 2nd time i am attempting to capture the Ring giant. I wasn't using a tracking mount then, and all i did was let it drift across my alt azi mount which is kind of tedious as i have to re center over and over again.
You can call that my first astrophotography attempt lol well we all do stupid things when we start out in something new but once you get the hang of it it is going to get easy.

This was what i got the other time, about 1 1/2 years back doing silly things :P
Tiny little fellow haha. Going to improve and look out for my blog after my return from Mersing. I will post my new saturn pics. :P

Mersing on 20th July 2012

In a couple of weeks, we will be heading up to Mersing! Again! lol
Everytime we look forward to going there mainly because we can relax ourselves there, enjoy the dark skies and not forgetting the food sessions and juicy durians that awaits us! :)
We'll usually bring a chill box with beers and stuff to enable us "see more stars" hahaha.
This time round I will not be imaging as well mainly I hadn't got a laptop because of the fact that i spent all my money on the Losmandy G11 Gemini 2.
We shall see how useful this new GEM when we are there.
