Saturn in better seeing - 19th Jan

Hi all

This image of Saturn was captured on the morning of the 19th January 2009, in variable but at times quite stable seeing conditions. It’s been so long since I’ve seen excellent seeing conditions that I feel i’m over-estimating the conditions of late, and have done so again with this image but it’s the best seeing I’ve had this year so it’s a start at least.

The improved atmospheric stability has helped to make this image my best Saturn for this apparition so far, and it’s giving me inspiration to continue to sacrifice sleep on clear nights and continue imaging. Now I just need a night of excellent seeing to recalibrate my scale and put things back in perspective

Thanks for looking.
