Hi all, nice to see that we have clear skies here in West-Europe and freezing temperature.
That's ok, that remind us the it is winter.
The night from the 8 feb. it was cold and we have clear skies and we can see the Seeliger Effect(I Think).
Kindly regards Richard Bosman

Hi Richard -

The brightened aspect of the rings is shown very well. The saturation seems a little stronger than natural, but I don't mind seeing the turquoise north emphasized.

Congratulations on a nice capture near opposition - I don't think it is going to happen here.

best wishes -
Alan

Richard, Thanks for braving the elements to take that Saturn! Excellent cloud band details. With below average seeing here tonight at 10degF with 10mph winds, I've decided stay in and sit by a warm fire instead...

Regards,
Steve
