Saturn f25 12/3

Posted By Dan Petersen

Steve that's a good start to what promises to be an incredible (transit filled) season, and don't forget that Saturnian Storms are lurking and may also be developing? Looking forward to your future posts, I'm sure that DMK will produce some very sharp images of the now 99% ringless planet. Take it easy, Dan grin

PS: It just doesn't seem right, Saturn -O- without rings?

Saturn with Titan

Hi Russell:

Absolutely spectacular! Your level of resolution is very high, and Titan looks great, nice size to it also. Was that the DBK?

Take it easy, Dan grin

Here's another Moonshot from last night, it shows the great rayed crater Tycho. It's 52 miles wide with a 1.5 mile high central peak. cheers, Dan grin

Venus f25 RG(UV) 1/9/09

Hi Steve:

That's a colorful composite, excellent work capturing those high level Venusian clouds! grin

It looks like the largest high pressure system in years will enter the midwest next week and then slide in your direction the center of this should provide very good seeing, if you can stand the bitter cold temps. How do you like the new filter, can you see anything visually with it? I may have to purchase one too.

Take it easy, Dan

Here's a smooth (3,000 frame) composite showing less noise and more bands, including chain-like cloud structure within Saturn's NEBz. cheers, Dan smile
