View submission: Saturn in August 2022 near opposition

Saturn in good seeing conditions. This is with a C14 telescope using an ASI462mc camera. The planet is magnified further using a 2.5x powermate. An atmospheric dispersion corrector is also used to reduce atmospheric dispersion of red, green and blue light by Earth's atmosphere. Short videos like this are taken and processed into single images using stacking software. This process is sometimes called 'lucky imaging'.

Is this what it would have looked like through an eyepiece?
