    Hey,
    Captured this picture of Saturn from Dublin's city centre. Amazed you can see anything given the light pollution. The refraction of light through the glass window gives a nice effect - like two Saturns, one rising out of the other.

    Added a lunar picture I took as well - same conditions. Shows 3 craters - Theophyllius, Cyrillius and Catharina (open to correction on this)

    Used a Nexstar 4SE and Neximage out my window. Here is a better image of Saturn after I compensated a bit for the refraction
