Saturn 17 January 2009

This is my first Saturn for this apparition.

Seeing was just a bit above average at Clayton last night but I am happy with the image. If you look carefully on the right hand side of the ring system you can see the gap between the rings and the planet. On the left hand side you can see the shadow of the planet on the rings. Some possible storm activity in the pink belt (yeah real professional description, probably called the SEB just like on Jupiter) just above the ring plane.

700 frames in each colour stacked from 1480 frames.
