Saturn Open Rings

Hi all,
I can't believe the last time I imaged Saturn was in 2012!
It's a long story but I have recently started imaging the planets again with some updated gear scope and mount
When processing my images the tilt on Saturn is very noticeable, the rings and north polar hexagon look great.

The image was taken on the 23-4-14 1456 UT and I managed to capture one of Saturn's moons Tethys.

Clear Skies
