Dennis, your Saturn image is fantastic  .
All wonderful pics, Tony, Marc and Dennis, thank you so much for sharing them, wow, these were great to see. Even if nothing got spotted, isn't it special you observed and captured images of Saturn at this time.
So sorry Tony that you guys weren't able to see anything, the Evans 30"scope was the biggest on the job to my knowledge so I was really looking forward to the results. Still.... you got to have a great moment with a magnificent telescope, enjoying Saturn at this time, so you've got to be happy with that  .
As for me... with all the work I did trying to find scopes for this event and all the update work on our fb page, incl. the event page........... I didn't get to see Saturn at all  .
I've been so sick, why now, life is just not fair  . Today I finally went to the doctor after 5 days sick with a nasty cough keeping me up every night, which has hugely escalated my normal asthma levels so I've been round the clock on Ventolin nebuliser machine, and he told me that I have an upper respiratory tract chest infection and has put me on prednizone and targeted antibiotics. It would've been health suicide for me to go out in the cold late at night and believe me, I had to fight myself not to, I'm still trying to get over not having that moment with Saturn  . But you know what, oh my gosh, seeing these pics brought such a great smile to face. |
Hi Suzy
So sorry to hear that you were unwell.
Look after yourself and take the time to recover fully before you plunge back into the demands of daily life.
Cheers
Dennis
