If you managed that shot of Jupiter, you can manage a pretty spectacular image of Saturn on the right night. It seems like my best nights out viewing (seeing-wise) were always hot, muggy, still nights with tons of mosquitos. The cold winter nights that were really dark with no haze were nice and dark and contrasty, but often had lousy seeing.
