Saturn, May10

It's been so long since I've had a chance to image...I almost forgot what I was doing!

Conditions are not too bad outside tonight. Still a bit of jetstream activity over Brisbane, hence the softness of the image...but better than it's been for a mighty long time so I'm not complaining.

It's interesting to note how dark the rings have become. I'm pleased to have captured a little of the Cassini Division, even though the ring plane is quite closed.

Might keep the scope set up for an ealry morning run on Jupiter....maybe

Nice image Matt,
Like the colour and detail in the banding and the Cassini Division is there. It does look a bit soft, but overall a very nice result.

Well done
Regards
Trevor
