Saturn 18th Feb

SPX350 F34 11,915mm FL, PGRFlea3, Astrodon filters.

Tried the longest FL so far and maximum I can push the 5xPowermate at 7.5x power increase. Seeing was variable but one set was good, each channel is 80secs and this may be to long as colours separate out in the white storm cloud so may shorten this time.

Breeze was annoying but stayed away for 3 decent sets. Dark spot is moving off disc and seeing deteriorated around culmination.

R RGB - 1555hrs UT.
