Another Saturn from the Northeastern U.S.

Hi all,

We had some good seeing in the northeastern U.S. as everyone can see from Eric Todd's image. This was taken from southeastern Massachusetts on February 1, 2004 at 4:17 UT. It was 10 degrees Fahrenheit when I took this image, I have to move to Florida

Ed,
Great image. That is the best 8" Meade image I have ever seen. Nice job with the processing - bands look nice.

Excellent shot Edward!
Great color, contrast & detail on the globe & rings...


Keep'em coming!

Outstanding image Ed!

You SCT guys are almost making me sorry for selling my C9.25. Almost.

Thank you everyone for your kind comments. If this winter continues as it has so far, I probably won't get my next image for another month. Who knows, maybe I'll get lucky and have a good February.

Clear & steady skies,

Ed Roach

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

Good seeing indeed! Weathering the cold seems to have been worth it. Exceptional image.
