Saturn and Jupiter 13th September 2020

An IR luminance colour image of Saturn clearly shows the polar hexagon and Enke division. First time this year that seeing at 17 degs has been good enough to allow resolution of these features.

Strangely the seeing for Jupiter was poor, but the turbulent NEB and Callisto can be seen.

Excellent work Peter. Loads of detail on Saturn, particularly at its low altitude. Well done indeed!

Fantastic work Peter, I dream of getting the Encke gap!

Saturn is stunning, shame Jupiter wasn't cooperating as much.

Excellent result Peter at that altitude. There's no way I'd get anything like that here with them being that low.

Well done Peter at this elevation your image is as its as good as it gets!

Wow that is some image of Saturn Peter. Especially at 17 degrees the enke and polar hex are very well defined.

So do I! A move 20 degrees south might help.

Superb image given the low altitude.

Remarkable image of Saturn at that elevation!
