The prominse on the lower left exrends out 20,000+ miles! I took this photo through a 3" refractor telescope stopped down to 2" with a hydrogen/alpha filter attached allowing the prominces to be seen.

I took these 2 photos of Saturn through UVA's 30" telescope on top of Fan Mountain on 10/27/00. In the left photo you can see the slight color bands on the planet and breaks between the rings. The right photo shows 4 of Saturn's moons.
(These photos were taken by holding a digital camera up to the telescope's eye piece.)
On Saturday, May 2, 1998, the Science Museum held its yearly Astronomy Day.
