Saturn best yet
Took the same stack as attempt 5, but manually sorted through the 1700 frames to pick the best ones out.
The following was composed from a stack of about 160 images. By picking the best ones out it's much improved the contrast in the Cassini Division.
Details:
150mm TAL 2M reflector with TAL 3x barlow and Toucam Pro II, stacksize 1700 @ 15fps best 160 images stacked. Taken at 2031 UTC on the 5th of April 2006. Seeing conditions 5/10.

Probably going to have to wait until next year now. It's getting smaller everyday, and the sky conditions aren't a patch on what we had late February when we had some lovely artic winds blowing in.
The UK has very few excellent nights a year.
