Saturn: Seeliger Effect and Double Transit

Posted By Dan Petersen

Hi Chris:

Great job capturing this magnificent Saturnian system so close to opposition, especially Dione nearly in line with its shadow, wow! Excellent banding and globe detail. It also looks like you captured a Spoke rotating through the B-Rings east ansa. wink

Take it easy, Dan grin

Hi Joe:

Really nice work! The image reminds me of the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey". I see you have an NGT-18, that's my dream scope, how do you like it? Your M57 posting is great, what is the name of that Barred spiral Galaxy to its upper left?

Regards, Dan smile

Wow, that's really good! It's sharp and smooth, with nice color too. The rings are as dark as I can ever remember, the "Ds" angle is almost zero, that will do it every time. Jason, send some of that Florida seeing up here. Take it easy, Dan smile

Jupiter 6/7/09 f25 RGB

Hi Steve:

Excellent job of processing! There is quite a bit of detail visible within the different cloud bands. It sounds like you might have to temporarily move your scope to a different location in your yard, so you can image Jupiter on the meridian.

Steady skies, Dan grin
