Okay, now I will explain.
I mounted a CCD webcam on an 8" telescope. Then I connected the webcam to my laptop, pointed the telescope at Saturn, and recorded about 30 seconds [600 frames] of video. I chopped off the last 140 frames because they were messed up and fed the remainder into an image stacking program. The result of all that is the image I posted.
