Saturn April 8th 2013

[Quark]

Hi All,

Imaged Saturn this morning in quite reasonable seeing although much of it was interrupted by cloud so only have 1 RGB and 2 742nm IR data sets. I note the bright spot on the Southern edge of the storm remnant reported previously by Bird, have measured it in WinJUPOS to be at L3 276.8 Lat +46.4



The polar projection of the RGB defines the hexagon particularly well.

Thanks for looking.


Regards
Trevor

Very sharp and very detailed, Trevor. Nice work!

Very sharp images with great detail Trev. No speckled space there mate. ;)

Pleasing result again with good hexagon and marking detail.

Trevor, thats an amazing set of images and they inspire me to do better. Ill have to look at WinJupos to see how it works. Thanks for posting.

Thanks Laurie.



Thanks Paul, yep, looks like Saturn has moved out of that spotted region of space, a good thing really.



Thanks John, still have not had seeing the equal of last year but I live in hope.



Thanks Asi.



Thanks Stuart, as we get closer to opposition the possibility of recording spoke structure increases. Have not seen evidence of it yet but it pays to keep an eye out for it.



Thanks Graeme.



Thanks Allan, all of the info you need for WinJUPOS is right there in the help files, so give it go. I think it is worth the extra effort.
