Saturn May 20th

[Quark (Trevor)]

Imaged Saturn May 20th in fair seeing, have extensive data covering 76 minutes of Saturn rotation. Tethys is seen in all data sets. The North Polar Vortex is quite prominent as is the North Polar Hexagon which is best seen in the R and RGB animations. The R and RGB data nicely resolves considerable banding within the atmosphere however the seeing was not quite good enough to resolve discrete detail within these bands. Note all data from this session including the polar projections has been uploaded to the PVOL database.

Thanks Dark Arts, guess imaging Saturn is a bit of a Dark Art...... but I love it.

Thanks Dave, never tire of trying to eek out fine structure & detail on my favorite planet.

Hi John, as Bob pointed out, there is a link to my website with my signature. If you open the "Photo's" folder and scroll down you will come to a folder of images of my imaging setup.
