Simple digital astro camera

Saturn in Leo Taken with cheap Canon SD1100IS. Who says you can't take astro shots with a point-n-shoot?!?! This canon has a manual exposure mode allowing 15 sec images. Used the self timer to minimize shutter vibration. Set at 800ISO because 1600 seemed to have some kind of banding. yes, ite not a great image, but adequate to show constellations!
