Latest Saturn expands the ring tilt series: 2011-2015

[Kokatha man]

Hi SGL'ers - we captured a pretty reasonable Saturn yesterday morning and thought it meritous enough to add to the "ring tilt" series" which demonstrates Saturn's rings opening up from 2011 onwards when we first started mono imaging...

As I said to Simon over on CN just now it gives us some optimism for the coming apparition, especially as it isn't opposition for a long time yet but as always seeing will determine any one night's outcomes...

We obtained a passable rgb Jupiter as well as some quite nice mono Joves over the last week as well as this Saturn, which reveals quite a few storm spots perhaps best seen in the individual images which I'm still processing and will post along with the Jupiters in the next couple of days...

stunning set of images, the rings really are wide open now. It only seems 5 minutes ago i first started imaging and they were edge on.
