Superb images! Really nice to see Saturn's rings so well displayed again ...

I'm intrigued by the bright spots at the outer edge of the B ring (next to the Cassini Division) which are especially clear in the last two IR images - can't remember seeing anything like that before!

[callisto]

Nice shots you have there

[Clayton]

Just don't bother stuffing your leazy butt into the bed, it's less effort to stay up. If you're employed in the public sector you can probabaly catch up on sleep during the daytime without anyone actually noticing.

Very nice

Like them a lot...

Good enough to tempt me out of bed at the crack of sparrow

Cheers

Really nice Shots this early, Clearly the IR 742 is cutting through the best. What amazes me is how you get such a strong signal with the 742 and a 8" scope on saturn. even with gain full on, im surprised you can get that much out of it, i have to get a IR filter,

[beamish]

Lovely just lovely ! I was clouded out again this am but look fwd to catching this beauty v soon. Keep it up Rik !!

[Keiran]

Clouds and/or -20C Maybe it will be possible to shoot something around the weekend, or next week when C11 arrives

[frewi808]

Rik you got a C11 coming, man you taking over the whole imaging world now, w're going to be out of business for sure.

The results with your super C8 are already super..

Smashing shots - especially considering how low it is right now

Mouth watering! Loving those open rings!!

That caused a tea spray onto my Lappy screen .

[barkis]

A superb set of images indeed.

I think you will have inspired a Camera attack on the ringed wonder now.

Great stuff.
