Seeing wasn't good so I went a bit longer than usual. Tethys Rhea & Dione in the shot. Early days yet

Still a very nice image Asimov, I particularly like the shadow cast by Saturn on its rings

Thanks guys. Apparently you're only as good as your last shot...But I know what's coming with Saturn this apparition so I'll kindly thumb my nose at that saying, lol. The seeing is terrible at this time of year early AM in this location.
