Equipment Details:

Nikon D5500 mounted to Orion 90 mm telescope

Post-processing Details:

Brightened up the contrast a bit, but anything else only distorted the image.

Image Details:

First time using the Orion telescope, and had bought the camera mount/adapter to attach my Nikon. Unfortunately wasn't able to capture much using the adapter (was doing something incorrectly), so I placed the camera directly over the telescope lens to capture this pic. Had to bump the camera ISO way up to 20000 to be bright enough. A hack move for sure, but still was fun to see/capture the rings of Saturn.
