Details:
Early this morning, Saturn and the Moon were gathering over the South-East horizon.
I set up my Orion ED80CTF telescope in a park to benefit from clear horizons and to avoid my neighbors thinking I was spying on them! (From the parking lot in front of my apartment complex, the Moon-Saturn duo was just above the neighbors building).
I used a powermate 2x and a Canon 5D Mark II at 100 ISO. Precise exposure time is actually unknown as I used my hands to manually obstruct the entrance of the telescope while on bulb mode. I moved my hand quite fast and estimate the exposure time to be ~1/30 seconds.
