Grab every chance to image Saturn with ever changing weather these days.
Opposition is tonight but its overcast in Sydney. Seeing wasn't too bad taken with Phillips900nc through 12"LB on round table eq platform.
Is the white patch at 10 o'clock a storm?:screwy:

Well done Vincent,
It certainly looks like a cloud structure or storm. When you image Saturn it pays to very accurately record the time of each capture, that way you can calculate the central meridian and from that the position of any detail within your image.
