Saturn 25-6-23

[Peter_D]

Hi,

Here's my first Saturn of the year using a Meade 10 inch SCT. Saturn was at 24 degrees elevation.

Initially I tried a 2x Barlow but seeing was not supporting it so I dropped down to 1.5x.

Meade 10 inch SCT, Zwo asi 224mc, Zwo ADC, 1.5x Barlow, Baader UV-IR cut filter. Final image resized to 80% of original.

Clear skies

Nice image! Thanks for posting - good to get an idea of the rings' appearance for this season👍  I looked for Saturn as I left my scope imaging M81 & M82 for the night at about 1:30am but it hadn't quite come out from behind my neighbours house.
