Taken at the Cedar Key Star Party in Cedar Key, FL last Thursday night. This was about the best seeing I have ever experienced. We observed with a Nagler 3-6 zoom in my 10" f14.6 - dialing between 600 and 1200x and it was hard to decide which image gave the most information!

clear skies,
Alan

Alan, where were you in Cedar Key? I was staying with friends who live right next to the museum and the folks at the museum said there was no observing on Thurs nite. So, I set up in my friends backyard with my 10" f/6 dob. Saturn about blew their socks off!! The seeing was indeed great that night.

Alan,

One of the most stunning images of Saturn I have ever seen! You have recorded a wealth of detail over the globe and rings. The pastel green collar surrounding the South Polar Region (SPR) is well captured. I am glad that you enjoyed such wonderful seeing conditions to image the ringed planet. I wish you many more such evenings in the future.

Hello again Alan.

How many images did you stack to get that result?
