Moon vs Saturn

I was bored last night and finally had a clear sky, so I shot these at 600mm
The moon is approximately 230,000 miles from earth and Saturn is approximately 830,000,000 miles from earth.
No wonder why you need a telescope to get a good image of Saturn.

Nice. That is amazing you can even get a shot of Saturn with the ring showing using a 150-600mm zoom.

Thank You. They probably won't ever be as sharp/detailed as I would like because of lens and atmospheric distortion, but I like the challenge.

I was mostly trying to show the size of Saturn compared to the Moon and their comparable distances. Now try to imagine Pluto @ 600mm.
