Saturn 25th Feb - above avg seeing
SPX350 F35.3 - 12,360mm, PGRFlea3, Astrodon filter, IR742nm filter.
Seeing was average and got a little better so images are a little soft plus a faint mist possibly. Trying for last time to stretch the 5xPowermate from F34 to F35.3 (0.093"/pix) giving a little larger Saturn - same scale as D Peach/D Tyler from Barbados - but seeing was not up to it. Got the dark patch again moving over the disc, seeing dropped at 1900hrs. Used a little gamma which helped at this longest FL. 60sec per channel.
First image 1540hrs.
Second at 1713hrs.
Thanks, John.
