Saturn with Tethys, Enceladus and Rhea a day before opposition (26/08/23)

[Kon]

I managed a few Saturn captures this morning before its opposition. Awful conditions but the IR helped with the Cassini division and three moons are also visible too: Tethys (on the left), Enceladus (on the right) land Rhea (below it). 7x120s derotation. The moons were stretched on original capture and have been overlayed on the final image.

Thanks Chris. It's awful isn't it. I feel that the whole summer passed us by. There's hope 🍀.

Great capture Kostas. it's very nice to see the moons in the same field of view as Saturn.

Thanks Martyn. I feel that it gives it a bit more depth.
