Saturn odel 13.05.2011..seeing 7-8/10..

Yesterday day in history on Saturn.
Seeing almost excellent with haze at high altitude, fly in the ointment of the past.
I started shooting the moon at high focus, then move into the late evening on Saturn.
To my amazement I found a fabulous seeing, what I had not seen for many years.
C14 perfectly in temperature, FlopStop active in the primary, high collimation, and on seeing 7-8/10, allowed me to have this shot.
As I 'said only negative, transparency a bit' low, which did not allow me to better resolve details on the planet.
But honestly say I'm proud of that result, and finally 'arrived after a long, long time.
Great evening to remember.
