2.5hrs of Saturn 28th Feb UT

[von Tom]

Hi all,

Here's a series of Saturn tonight over 2.5 hours. The seeing improved from poor to fairly good as the planet rose. The head of the storm was retreating around the limb and the twin tail became more evident.

Canon EOS 550D in 640x480 video crop mode, with 4x teleconverters through a 12" Goto Dobsonian.

Cheers,

Tom

Thanks for the comments. I've added an attempt at an animation to the original post.
