Saturn shows up nice n' bright

What with all the recent excitement about Mars, I got out the ol' telescope and had a look at Saturn. I was really impressed with how well it shows up, and I managed to get some digital pix by putting the camera up to the eyepiece. Here's one of the 2 that worked out, cropped for your viewing pleasure. I also got some of the moon, which I may crop and post in this thread.

Happy new year!!

Nice pic, bartman!

What kind of digicam were you using? I haven't had too much luck with my kodak dc3400 -- I can never get it to focus correctly.

The scope is a Meade DSC-60, which is the older version of the NGC-60:

and the camera is a Sony Cybershot U20. It's the same one that I used with the binoculars before:
