Image Details:

Saturn is the 6th planet from the sun and is making its appearance in our nighttime skies. Saturn is about 817 million miles away and appears as a somewhat bright dull yellow object medium-high in the eastern sky at 10 pm and high overhead around 2 am.
I took this image using the Celestron 11" EdgeHD telescope and the Player One Uranus-C (IMX585) camera in the Heavenly Backyard Garden around 1 AM
The image is composed of a 20,000-frame video file where I took the best 25% of the images and stacked them together
