Saturnian moon challenge
With Saturn nicely positioned for the next month or so, here's a challenge - especially for those curious about their limiting magnitude - how many and which ones of Saturns brighter moons can you spot ?
They have a nice range of magnitudes:
8.8 Titan
10.0 Rhea
10.6 Tethys
10.8 Dione
11.4 Iapetus
12.2 Enceladus
13.2 Mimas
14.8 Hyperion
16.7 Phoebe
And Sky Safari shows there current positions nicely (as well as the background stars).
Now... where's Big Joe...
