Thanks very much Graeme.

Thanks Asi, the IR certainly handles the low alt quite well, the final two RGB's really suffered due to the crook "B" channel.

Thanks Mark, this is the longest I have been able to go with Saturn since 2008. Previously, due to its Northern position I have lost it in the top of my neighbors Palm tree by early to mid July. Now Saturn has come further South and will continue to come even further South over the next 7 years, so I can image it down to about 20 degrees alt.

John.

Thanks John, the research groups I am involved with are very keen for me to follow through with this until I can no longer produce data of scientific value. I take solace in the fact that the best Saturn image of this apparition was taken at an alt of only 34 degrees, of course that was by Damian Peach but I think it shows that it is still possible, if the seeing is good enough. Even when at low alt.

Thanks Ray, yes, I was quite pleased to be able to resolve the transit of Tethys and good to see you upload your data to PVOL, several different research groups access data from there and I think it is great to make a contribution to planetary science.
