Saturn Aug 19

Hi. Just finished a session imaging Saturn in above average seeing for the elevation. The jetstream got down to about 50kts and the clouds cleared just before dusk. I had been elsewhere for the day and didn't have time to properly cool the mirror, so was refocusing about every 30 seconds as it changed shape. RGB came out pretty well all considered and I think I can just see Trevor's green band in the upper hemisphere. thanks for looking. Regards Ray
