Saturn 12th Aug

[si@nite]

Taken last night in steady seeing below 15 degs, very happy with these this late on in the apparition!

Images taken with the meade 305mm at native - skyris 236m - ash adc!

Pretty darn decent at that elevation Simon..!

Cheers Darryl, the planets are proving tough targets at such low elevation here in the uk!

They look really good Simon especially this late on in the apparition, nice to see the big meade at work.

[Kokatha man]

Well, for us it's been one of the longest periods in years without any imaging opportunities Simon, regardless of the good elevations down here...about 5 weeks where usually in that time we score the occasional chance but not this time...clouds, jet-streams & torrents of rain in "the driest state in the driest continent." 

Plenty of work to do however...

[Pete Presland]

Very good images especially for the UK, the local conifer population stop any views of Saturn these days.

[bob-c]

very nice images, well done.

[MarsG76]

Thats amazing at 15 degrees... nice capture.

Excellent images under the conditions. I gave up on Saturn a while ago!
