Description

Hard times with Saturn, so far, here in southern Brazil.

The weather is uncooperative...

Awfull seeing, could get only one LRGB+IR685nm series, the remaining 9 - nine! - are pure...

Anyway, I´s trying to get a better sampling for the ASI174MM´s large pixels, using an Explore Scientific Telextender 3x.

Well indeed I got a larger Saturn, but nothing can beats a bad seeing...

The collage shows, at top left, Saturn in LRGB and three satellites: Mimas, Enceladus and Tethys. In reality, it was impossible to get all these with the same exposure settings, so there is a Photoshop montage here.

The remaing images are "natural", just to show the Big Hexagon, including, probably, the central polar vortex. Nothing more to show with this seeing.
