Hi,

I had some some time to observe Saturn last night and also check out my new EQ head.

Seeing conditions and transparency were good, though the transparency did not last.

Enceladus was observed as well. Nothing unusual in this observation except for the B ring ringlet distribution. Also, as per Carlos' observation the SEB appeared mottled.

Best, Sol Robbins

Sol,

A beautiful and very accurate observation of Saturn. The globe and ring details appear as in my own observations of the planet. The inclusion of Enceladus looks interesting. Thank you for sharing it with us all.

Carlos
