Our best effort at imaging Saturn does not compete with others we have seen online but we're making progress. We're hoping for quieter air (better seeing) in the coming days as the ringed world approaches opposition - that will help immensely. In the meantime, under upcoming days of cloudy skies, we'll be working on technical improvements under the dome. #saturn#astronomy
Imagen adjunta: Less than a week before planet Saturn reaches opposition, this image shows the full circle of the planet, its ring plane tipped up. Though the image creator makes no claims of good quality, some banding in the planetary atmosphere shows in this image, and the Cassini Division -- a dark gap within the ring plane -- is resolved.
