Saturn 18:28UT 14th November (for what it's worth!)

I managed to catch Saturn this morning very low between the trees just before sunrise. Spica was easier to spot, and helped me find it. I tried a few different contrast/colour settings but this was the best of the lot. Seeing for the altitude was OK up until 20min before sunrise.

Apart from the rings looking a little wider, the increased colour saturation still shows some banding.

A single video frame is also attached.

Canon EOS 600D, 5x Powermate, 12" Sky-Watcher Goto Dobsonian, manually guided.

Thanks for looking,

Tom
