Saturn & Jupiter May 17th 2010

Hi All,

Its been a while but when I got back to the "Hill" yesterday after a couple of weeks away, just had to get my "Planet Fix".

Imaged the SED's related storm on Saturn in fair to good seeing. These images are rather heavily processed to highlight the storm. Captured 5 RGB's. The storm is very extended in longitude and has faded but is still fairly well defined, have attached an RGB with the storm crossing the CM. Also attached an animation of the 5 RGB's from the session.

Hit the deck again at 4:30 AM CST to image Jupiter. Have attached 2 RGB's. The seeing was good, the SEB is still most faded making Jupiter appear very different from last apparition, there is some detail to be seen toward both poles with various white and red ovals and spots.

Thanks for looking.
Regards
Trevor
