Description

There is a saying in astronomy: "If seeing is good, leave it everything and go out for the planets. You can marry another time, too." So yesterday I stopped marriage and went out for Saturn, it's low in the south and good moments are extremel rare.

On close inspection I detected the imprints of 3 moons, tethys to the left, weak Enceladus near the planet, and Rhea at upper right. Never thought that something would show up at 18ms exposure for the single frame.

hm, just noted - the depiction here is somwhat bigger than 100%, don't know why.
