Mark, spectacular Saturn! The rings are open (-9 1/2) degrees, their maximum is just 2 weeks away at (-9.96), so keep shooting because this is as good as it will get for almost 20 years, at least for us northerners. Cheers, Dan grin

Steve, beautiful shot! It would be nice to head down south next winter for some spectacular Saturn imaging, and push that C11 and DMK to the edge of their envelopes. Take it easy, Dan 8)

Hi Ed:

Beautiful color composite of Saturn, sharp as a tack too! Your collimation looks like it is right on also. Congrats on a very professional looking shot.
