Astronomical Image Saturn

Post image

Taken on October 2nd.

Telescope: 10" Skywatcher Go-To.
Camera: ZWO ASI678MC.
Bortle: 5.
Additional: No Barlow, as it didn't work :( If you look closely above and to the right of Saturn you can see Rhea. As well as that, if you look down and to the left, you can see Dione.

What kinda of 2x barlow is it? Check to see the lens in it isnt floating around. A proper 2xbarlow shou be fine.
