Saturn a comparison

[Kai]

Just for a bit of fun i was looking at images i took a year ago.What is interesting is the way the rings have closed up in just a year.

The top image is this year and the bottom is one i took last March

and

How long until the rings are side on so we can see them ??

Yes, old Saturn's going to hide it's rings for sure.

I think it looks nicer now than last year

I think it will be about 2009 if I'm not mistaken.

Been an interesting challenge for us imagers.
