I guess we can declare Saturn season open for the south!

Thanks ivan, with Saturn at 70 degrees alt in 2013 reckon we should all get some great data.

Thanks Mark, this data was captured at a F/L of 9.66 metres. Around 10 metres seems to be the optimal F/L for large Newtonian Reflectors. Of all the planets, I think, Saturn inspires planetary imagers the most. I look forward to seeing your first efforts at imaging it.
