Finally some clear skies and some free time to observe. Seeing was good this time and I finally managed to resolve Cassini division throughout the ring through the eyepiece. I managed to capture some of this detail with webcam also. Clouds limited this capture to 750 frames. It would have been great to get some 1500 images to get rid of noise. I used Selective Gaussian blur to smooth things a bit.
