Saturn - Feb, 10 (Canberra)

Managed to capture this earlier this morning, in the only gap that appeared in the cloud all night/morning

I'm quite happy with the Cassini Division given the seeing was 5/10 at best.

However, the crepe ring is the most pleasing aspect. I'm not sure I've ever captured it quite so prominently before?

I think I've got my SCT collimation just about right

Thanks for looking

Nicely done Matt.


Imagine what a DMK would have been able to achieve this morning then.

Thanks Paul. I'm nearly over the line on the DMK.

Close. Very close.

I think so, Mike.

Happy to have captured that with Saturn season heading to a close and Jove on the rise

Not from me, Davo

I'm saving that for Jupiter.

Saturn's more a prelude to a nude strut. More a quick wriggle in a pair of speedos. Close, but not quite the full monty!

Go for it, Paul

Colour looks OK on my screen, but you know how computer screens are.

What do you think needs adjusting?

Looks a bit pink on my laptop is all. I might have gone a tad too far though

Oh yeah,

Can see that when I compare it with your re-jig.

I've noticed I do lean a little toward the red channel.

Cheers, mate
