Excellent detail and processing (and a great location for Jupiter observing too.)

Saturn 02/24/05

Posted By Alan Friedman

Hi Wes -

Beautiful Saturn, with a touch of the polar cap - a tough feature to capture this time around, I think. Nice to see the old ToUcam getting a chance to come in off the bench for an at bat. We are all collecting quite a team of webcams. smile

another saturn on 24 februar

Hi Han -

Nice image!

I would think in those conditions, f40 would leave a very dim saturn in your 7"? A little less magnification might help sharpness.

best,

Gorgeous detail.

Are you thinking about starting a Bed and Breakfast at your location? I think there would be takers!
