Saturn 12/12

Posted By Alan Friedman

Hi Chris -

Glad to hear that you were not affected too badly by the recent typhoons.
This image has very fine banding detail. Can you explain more about strong cyan band just north of the ring shadow that doesn't seem to show the radial curve of the disk? Wish I had a nice sharp picture like this to refer to!

thanks -
Alan

Excellent work, Stefan - my favorite is the original size Tycho mosaic.

"Arty" is not a four letter word!!

Hi Stefan -

A wonderful presentation of Clavius centered in a slice of southern highlands.
Your recent lunar images have been exceptional - looking forward to more!
