Description

Saturn imaged on the night of September 9, 2023 under good seeing conditions (8/10). The planet shown an apparent globe diameter of 18.8", with its stunning rings appearing nearly twice as wide. This image is a dynamic GIF animation composed of four sets, each one created through the stack of two consecutive RGB sequences. As a result, this animation spans a period of about 10 minutes, during which Saturn slightly rotated. This rotation becomes evident when observing the gentle movements of small features within the intricate clouds of Saturn, in particular in the Southern hemisphere.
