During the visual viewing there was a moon directly below Saturn (I don't know which one) In relationship to the picture there is a small white bloch about two inches below and a little to the right which maybe that moon.

Some of the ring detail can be made out

Same scope as above - 10 4 sec exposures @ f/15. I only did a section of it, when I get a focal reducer/field doubler maybe I can put together a complete mosaic.

I really wanted to try Orion Neb - but it was behind some trees.
