Saturn 4th May 2015 fair seeing

SPX350 F39, PGRFlea3, Baader RGB filters. RGB 1422hrs, IR 1322-1428hrs UT

First Saturn this year with fair seeing which looked promising but would not settle.

North Pole zone detail seen in IR742nm filter top right of disc shown in GIF.

Regards, John.

Fantastic images

Fantastic images of Saturn - great detail.

Have you ever observed electrostatic discharges and storms etc on any of your Saturn images or viewing?

White spots or blobs that can drift with time.

Cheers

Peter

Nice images John, lots of clear nights and lousy seeing seems to be the order of the night for the last few weeks. It must improve soon as we are all getting stir crazy!

Nice work John. Reminds me to get my butt out there and do some imaging when the cloud disappears. I have become too accustomed to remote imaging.
