Saturn Jan 20th 2013

Hi All,


Have just returned from holidays, cruising the lower Murray Lakes & Coorong estuary.


Was up at 4am local this morning, capturing Saturn data by 4:30am in variable seeing. Have attached 1 RGB & 742nm IR data set. The IR was captured with Saturn at an alt of 44 degrees and is 2 consecutive data sets derotated, it would have been 3 data sets but for my computer deciding it wanted to install some windows updates and do a restart just as I was about to capture the 3rd IR data set.

The RGB, which is over 17 min's and derotated, was at an alt of 53 degrees.

The seeing was rather ordinary overall but did have some better moments, for sure the higher alt helped considerably. The storm remnant still remains reasonably well defined as is the Nth polar storm. The heat wave we have been experiencing in the OZ outback is no doubt contributing to the variable seeing at the moment.

Thanks for looking

Regards
Trevor
