Shadow transit of Titan 13/04/2009

Hi All,

Imaged the shadow transit of Titan every ten minutes from 10:00 UTC until 11:40 UTC. Captured 22 avi files in all including 5 RGB's.

This is one of the RGB's. I will post an animation of the R channel images covering the last 100 minutes of the event. This will take some time, I hope to post it this evening.

This was a difficult event to capture as it commenced very early in the evening. My captures started at about mid transit but even then the Sun was not far below the horizon and the seeing was poor, about 5/10, as it got later the seeing improved to about 6/10. There was an abnormal amount of humidity in the air for my remote outback location. I could smell the moisture in the air, there must have been rain somewhere in the region.

That said I have some nice data and the animation should look good.

This RGB was the final one I took for the evening. I will post the other RGB's later when I finish processing.

Thanks for looking
Regards
Trevor
