Here is Saturn from last night (01/26/04) actually morning on 10/27/04 UT. Didn't think seeing was all that great, but I guess it fooled me.

"Didn't think seeing was all that great, but I guess it fooled me."

I guess so! That is remarkably sharp, the seeing must have been good.

Excellent job at processing also, the detail is very good, yet it does not have an "overprocessed" look at all.

Very good work!

Paul -

Very sharp image. It's been a month since my last chance to look at saturn (what a winter this has been!) - cool to see how much the shadow of the disk against the rings has moved since opposition.

Thanks for posting.

Hi Paul,

Your Saturn image is excellent with very nice color balance. I'm looking forward to see your other images with the C11.
