Well, one last look at Saturn last weekend through my 4" TV-102 Light Cup confirms that the season is over :-(, boiling away into the western horizon. I owe a debt of eternal gratitude to Saturn (and Eric J.) this year for helping me get started in sketching and thereby helping me to see more than the previous year!
One question remains. I can tell when Jupiter and Mars planetary disc is rotating. But Saturn seems, well so static. No movement in the belts, no movement in the ring that I could see. (Now I realize that ring change angle every year.) Has anyone been able to detect motion in this beautiful and unique planet? If so, how did you do it? How
long do you have to watch to detect motion?
Thanks,
