Seeing was only fair with strong high winds making it tough to get a really strong focus.
All of these shots are as shot without processing other than converting to JPG from RAW.
Oh yeah, Canon 7D on these for the crop sensor boast.

The 11" had been inside so it wasn't acclimated. Next up will be to get some shots in with it. Tonight looks to clear and almost no wind so Saturn may be the target of the night.
Thanks for the compliments.

And Saturn was too low to play with. It was blinking like a police car light bar.
I guess I need to try and wait for Jupiter to get clear of the moon.

Skies are clearing. I'll try to get some shots with my Sigma 600MM tonight.
