Saturn is currently at opposition (directly opposite the sun), so ideal for photographing. The first image includes 6 of Saturn's moons, which are labeled in the 2nd image.

I also have a short time-lapse video in which you can see two of the inner moons moving in their orbits, but when I attach it, it cannot be played for some reason.

Captured with my EdgeHD 8, 2x Barlow (FL=4000mm), ASI585MC.

This is the net result of over 250,000 images taken in rapid succession on a night with above-average seeing conditions, and post-processing only the best 10% of them (using AutoStakkert! and waveSharp3).
