Saturn 7th Aug + Tethys & Rhea Transit
My first planetary images for this season and my first chance for any kind of astro for a while... looked like some decent seeing so I made the call to stay out a little later than normal. I only took a few captures - but as luck would have it Tethys and Rhea were in transit.
The RGB images were not the best but I was pleased with some of the detail captured in IR - and especially Tethys, which was not visible at all in RGB, was visible (just) in IR. So yeah pretty happy with being able to capture the double transit plus bonus double lunar shadow transit.
I made a gif to show the lunar transit a little clearer. Tethys is hiding right on the edge of the rings and presents as little notch in the rings moving in sync with Rhea and the 2 shadows...
