Saturn imaged from Bacoor, Cavite on 7 October 2026 with a Celestron 8 inch SCT, 5x Televue Powermate, UV-IR filter, and a ZWO ASI 533 camera on a Meade LXD75 tracking mount. This is a stack of 4000 frames captured in SharpCap and processed in SIRIL.

In this Saturn photo, I used a Sky-Watcher Equinox 100ED refractor and a 25 mm eyepiece to project an image onto the sensor of ASI 533 astronomy camera. The magnification of the image depends on the focal length of the telescope, the focal length of the eyepiece, and separation between the eyepiece and the camera’s sensor. While longer telescopes, higher-power eyepieces, and wider separation between the eyepiece and the camera will produce more magnified images, the amount of detail that can be resolved will still depend on the aperture or the diameter of the telescope’s objective mirror or lens.
