Hi,

Had good seeing conditions. Additionally, the near 0 degree temperatures have given way to what is now a seemingly balmy 26 degrees.

Anyway, Saturn held sharp at 400x. Of note was a somewhat brighter edge on the inside of the A ring on the preceding, right side.

Thanks, Sol Robbins

Great sketch Sol I often noticed that bright line on the inside edge of the A ring I've never heard anyone mention it before,it is visible in many webcam photos I've seen I am wondering if some newbies mistake this bright line for the dark Encke division further out in the A ring,thanks for sharing.
