Saturn - view of Rhea

[mdstuart]

Well tonight at 11pm Saturn was rising in the Se under Leo...Planet lovely as ever, rings still clearly visible and of course Titan well to the right (in my Newt) but hey what is that other faint "star" about a ring width also to the right...

Checked out Stellarium and its Rhea...First sighting. :hello1:

Cloudy now but I want to hunt the others, especially the one that goes black white black white...

That will be the famous 'Rotating Nun' moon.

Nice One! It's also called Iapetus.

Just come in from looking at Saturn. Titan is sitting just above the tip of the ring with Rhea off to the left. (Newt view of course). Dione was on the opposite side of the ring to Titan.

Weatherman must have had the chart upside down today as the forecast was tfor cloud until midnight. Instead it has been crystal clear until now when cloud is coming in. Our guests have had a great observing.
