Taping Saturn

I made this refractor 12 years ago with a 4.25 inch achromat I'd had for years.
The two wooden fork arms found their way into both camera platforms I later built.
This was back when I was recording with a Canon ZR20 DV camcorder, transferring
the video via Firewire to a computer and running it through Registax (probably
version 2 or 3 at the time). The Saturn image from that night is here:
