Here's an image of Saturn from tonight. I got one hole in the cloud cover and managed to get this in OK seeing.

Cheers,

Tom

that one is really nice Tom, can see that you've managed to get the aberration under control, can't see that blue tinge around the planet.

I am really missing imaging at the moment, I've still got at least 2 to 3 months before I can restart.

Good on you

Nice work Tom, like the overall level of detail and processing, perhaps a little to dark insofar as the "C" ring does not show up at all but otherwise a top effort.

Well done
Regards
Trevor

Great image Tom - I am glad the clouds parted for you!

How high was Saturn at midnight?
