Saturn - This overexposed shot of Saturn shows 6 or 7 of its several moons.
The interesting thing is how fast they move!
Over a period of a few hours the positions changed completly.

This saturn picture was taken using 800 frames from an avi,
The seeing was just better then average, but it got worse as there were clouds moving in.
Note that you can see hints of the disk through the Cassini division.
