Crater Tycho
Before attempting Saturn I tried the little webcam on the moon. This wide shot shows the bright crater Tycho near the center, with the Mare Nubium ("Sea of Clouds") at the bottom center.

Saturn
My first images of Saturn, taken with a $150 webcam! If you look very closely, you can see two fuzzy little moons on the left side of Saturn (the inner one is Tethys, the outer is Rhea). Towards the upper right (in the lower picture) you can just barely see Dione.

Mare Humorum
The Moon was almost full when I took these, but I wanted to see what a webcam could do. This is a look at the Mare Humorum ("Sea of Vapors"). The crater Gassendi is at the bottom center.
