Attached is my Saturn image taken at 12:00 UT today.
I was observing Saturn with my 8" newt. just prior to taking this image with my C8. Seeing was quite good at about 7.5/10. Most interesting feature was a bright white section of the rings just adjacent to where the shadow of the globe fell on the rings. The webcam image shows just a hint of it, but it was very apparent visually at a range of magnifications. Terby white spot?
Would be interesting if anyone else was observing Saturn at the same time.
