Processing – Saturn was incredibly small in the picture. As the planet was only a few pixels wide I could only crop in heavily and increase structure and clarity.
Edit- ok so I think some people are finding it hard to believe that this can be done, I was also on that boat :p
Essentially you just need your focus to be as precise as possible.
The main magic happens in editing. I had to crop in like way more than 100% and then mess with all the sliders until I had a usable image 🙂

I already took one of these with a G10 motorcycle, and it was of the same quality.

It doesn’t seem like much but the fact that I was able to capture any sort of detail with my setup blew my mind.
Equipment- Nikon D7500, Nikkor 300mm kit lens, basic tripod
Details – Single exposure at ISO 320, 1/30s, f/10
