Thank you! The seeing was good; this was the first clear night over the past 10 nights during which time the clouds were thick and persistent. The last time I had an opportunity to image Saturn was May 12 when the jet stream was moving directly over head at 120 miles per hour (192 km/hr). That was not a pretty picture! Not knowing when another opportunity would come along I did the best job I could on this shot from May 22.
