Farewell Cassini

Though I knew there was essentially no chance of capturing the impact flash, I set up to image Saturn as Cassini made its farewell. The main image is a composite of two 5-minute exposures in quite poor seeing - one for Saturn at f/15 and a longer exposure stack for 5 of the moons at f/10. The methane image is built from 10 minutes around the time of impact.
