SATURN Dec 20th + Titan & "Red" Collar

Hi All,

well I dragged the carcass from bed this morn... to a sky alight with skudding clouds. Hmmm, went ahead and hoped for the best. Had a few avis spoiled with thin cloud. Seeing was good, say 6-7/10. The attached is a taster, just a random selection from the avis processed directly in registax 4 (single point). Hopefully I can improve on this one once I start ppmcentring and being a bit more selective.

Still pretty happy with the result - my best for this Saturn season (easy to say when it's early days). The Cassini division is detectable all the way around. Titan also gets a look in.

It doesn't show as well on my Desktop screen, but also present is the phenomenom described by Steve Massey in the latest issue of Aust S&T of temporary red collar below the polar region... first time I think I"ve capture it.

Anyway, there it is.

cheers,
