Saturn

This is another one of my first astrophotos. It is not very impressive, with quite a bit of noise and blur, but still the features of Saturn stand out. A glimpse of the Cassini division in the rings can be seen, and the planet is casting a black shadow on the part of the rings which is behind it.
