Saturn Opposition 2017

[orion25]

The best video of Saturn I've shot so far. Shot just a few days after opposition (due to cloud) using the Orion Deep Space Video Camera II and the Orion SkyView Pro 180 Mak-Cass. original music soundtrack: "Syzygy" from the album, THE FALSE DAWN:

Enjoy!

Nicely done Reggie, something a bit "60's space race" about that backing music!

Very good. Better conditions than I have here has so far for Saturn .

Thanks, Steve. The low elevation makes it a challenge to get good views. Saturn gets about a max of 34 degrees above the horizon where I am. Looks best after midnight when it's highest and the sky has cooled down. Grab any views you can get!

This is all I have managed to get this year of Saturn. Just one night.

I can see the effect of the low elevation, but not the worst I've seen. How does it look visually through the scope?
