Hi all,

I had some decent seeing on the evening of March 28 and got the following Saturn image. It was shot at about 350UT (March 29) with the 10" at F/32. I resized the image by 1.2x during Registax processing. The moon, Rhea, is seen at about 2 o'clock. A bright spot can be seen in the middle of the disk just under the shadow of the rings.

Paul, excellent image! The 120% resize held up well. Your seeing must have been super. Nicely processed, a ton of banding details. Great work

Regards,
Steve
