Mars, Saturn+Titan+storm with animation March 22nd

Hi all,

Set up early to image Saturn at opposition last night. Early in the evening I imaged Mars, tried an RGB but the seeing was pretty crook so went with my trusty planet killer the Astronomik IR 807nm filter. It is pretty amazing how this filter cuts through really poor seeing to provide quite reasonable images.

Started imaging Saturn from 11 pm CSST, the seeing was badly effected by the jetstream, so bad that I have not worried about processing the first 3 sets of RGB's. Things did improve as it got later but only from poor to marginal. Have attached 1 IR image of Mars, 3 RGB's of Saturn, with the storm almost at the CM in the 2nd image and an animation of my 3 Saturn RGB's. These were captures at 30 min intervals. Titan is close to Saturn in all these images and came up quite well.

Thanks for looking
Regards
Trevor

Trevor, the storm shows up quite nicely in these images, as does Titan. It sure looks nice when it passes close to Saturn.

cheers, Bird
