Saturn 10/23/03

Saturn was still well under 30 degrees up, and as it was coming up from the muck, the heat waves were still making it dance...

Every once in a while some steady shots were available, but not many at all...


Anyways, I enjoy spending my time outside, and that's what it is all about...


Comments are always welcome...


Clear dark & cool skies!



Ivan



P.S.
Yeah, yeah, I know... it is not a Wes Higgins shot!
LOL!

Nice shot Ivan. Having fun and being outside is what it's all about. Keep it up!

Nice shot Ivan!

The Cassini division and a cloud band are clearly visible and it's a FAR cry from what an amateur astronomer could have accomplished only a few years ago. In fact, this is better than the many of the images in the textbooks I had when I was going to school in the 70's!

It doesn't matter whether it's a "Wes" shot or not. It's the enjoyment of actually seeing the "real thing" show up on a photo that you, yourself took.

The viewing in Edmonton hasn't been very good over the last couple of weeks. The clear skies hardly last long enough for a 14" SCT to cool down, so it's nice to browse through everybody else's images to see how things are going in other parts of the world.

Keep 'em coming.
