Hi all,
I tried another run at Saturn a few nights back with my 8" SCT. The seeing was OK... transparency was good, but the atmosphere was pretty unstable. At any rate, I thought the image turned out OK. I processed it so as to be able to see a hint of C ring. It could use more work, probably a slight gaussian blur, but here it is ( a work in progress).
Cheers,
Tyler

Tyler,

Very! nice Saturn, you caught the Crepe ring exceptionally well and the North Polar region is just peaking out below the rings.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins
