Very sharp image. It's been a month since my last chance to look at saturn (what a winter this has been!) - cool to see how much the shadow of the disk against the rings has moved since opposition.

Thanks for posting.

Saturn last night

Hi Jim-

That turned out very nice - very good definition around the south polar region.

I love your drawings! They are always fascinating to study and compare with digital images. I almost always feel that more is seen at the eyepiece than in video taken on the same night - your images are an inspiration to try and record this on paper.

I thought you might enjoy this image which was was captured very close to the time of your drawing from Cedar Key, FL with a 10" telescope. This is a preliminary processing - I will share the final version when completed. It does show Io and its shadow and Europa off the disk which had completed its transit a while earlier. It was a great night to observe. Earlier in the evening the seeing was the best I have ever experienced. Unfortunately it was not as good when observing Jupiter. I posted an image of saturn taken during the earlier period of superb seeing on the CCD and Imaging forum today.

clear skies!

Beautiful! I have not heard any reports from WSP yet - I hope the winds died down for you at some point.
