Saturn + Titan shadow

Hi,
here is last night’s picture of Saturn and I just caught Titans shadow. This picture was taken on the 1-5-10 at 11:54 UT. You will notice the red spot to the right of the shadow I think this is because I had some tracking trouble between channels so it took a lot longer than it should of.

Thanks Mike,
Update on the red dot maybe its Titan. I thought I had smeared the image to start with

Well done Troy,

A very nice image, however it is Titan that you have imaged not its shadow. This was a transit of Titan not its shadow.

Again, very well done.
Regards
Trevor

Thanks Trevor,
After having some sleep I would have to agree with you.

Looks like Titan to me and at a hugh 0.8" in size
