Saturn, Titan, Tethys & Dione (16th Jan 01:53am AEST)

Hello,

Last night I set out to split Sirius A & B with my Mewlon 180 F12, which I did!

Then, I saw Steve’s (Kinetic) post about the Titan event for Saturn so I fitted the DBK21AF04 (colour) and DMK21AF04 (B&W) cameras and grabbed a colour and B&W avi around 1:50am before retiring.

I processed them and merged the output together to show the moons Titan, Tethys and Dione. This took some extensive manipulation of the moons’ brightness so their relative intensity in this composite image is false, although their positions relative to Saturn and each other is correct.

The seeing was very good earlier, but then gradually deteriorated so I pulled the plug around 2:30am as I ran out of gas for the Titan eclipse.

Cheers

Dennis
