Hi, here is a new composite that I just finished, it's from my January 22nd file. This shot was taken 15 minutes after my earlier posting. Rhea's shadow is now quite a ways in from Saturn's limb. I used IRIS for much of the post processing, there is some detail, depth, color and contrast in this one. I pushed it a little to much though, maybe next time out I'll have better seeing so I won't have to process as much. I'll give Photoshop (CS4) a try one of these days. grin

cheers, Dan

Dan, beautiful shot! Capturing any moon transit on Saturn is rare. Getting near perfect seeing and imaging a shadow on any moon smaller than Titan is even more remarkable. Good luck catching another transit! I am debating whether to go out in 2/5 seeing tonight and torturing myself again...

Regards,
Steve
