The above Quicktime movie is a time-lapse series of images of Saturn on the night of March1, 2006. I setup the Starfish camera's control program to guide on the star in the lower, center of the image. The exposure time was set to 5 seconds since I wanted to be able to capture not only the moons of Saturn but the fainter guide stars in the background star field. That ended up way over-exposing Saturn itself. Anyway, I set up the auto-guider for 5 second exposures and guide corrections. I also setup the program to store away the most recent guide star shot every two minutes. With the setup in place I let the system run for almost 7 hours. I had to stop it at that time since the scope was about to crash into my mount's pier. I ended up capturing around 200 picts taken every two minutes.
I then used iMovie to make a Quicktime movie of the time-lapse sequence and the result was very interesting. You could see the movement of Saturn's moons orbiting the planet as well as the motion of the Saturn system across the field of background stars over the 7 hour period.

Scope - TAK FSQ106 at prime focus, Starfish camera with Micron MTM001 image sensor, Image cropped ~66% of original size.
