had a rare warm summer night with clear skies and decent seeing. unfortunately my mount is on the fritz, so i was unable to get out the big scope, but had a nice session with my C8 cruising the summer sky, then finished off imaging saturn and jupiter which just happen to have the GRS in view:

It's been a while since i've imaged saturn, the ring tilt is really decreasing. better view of the globe, north pole difficult:
