Saturn 7 March 2012

Seeing was around 6/10 for this image but some very faint storm detail can be seen (perhaps processing artifacts).

Nice work Paul, the storm remnant still remains a well defined structure and I reckon there are a couple of faint clouds within the NEB. The spots we have been seeing this year within the storm remnant are particularly effected by the total exposure time.

Well done

Thanks all.

Saturns elevation is largely responsible for all the good images coming from Australians of late. It is getting quite high down my way. I think I saw it the other night (sky6 reported) at 63 degrees. Although it could have been 65 degrees. That sort of elevation will mean better images all the time. Add that to the cameras, control of cooling and processing skills and that means better images. Personally I am excited about what the next few years will bring for imaging Saturn.
