Description

Saturn is a difficult object for Northern hemisphere observers now and for many years to come. This was captured in a rare moment of good seeing. I was pleased to capture the C-ring, some hints of storm remnants and a little of the Encke Gap in this image. This was my very first attempt to capture Saturn at f/30, having assumed that going beyond f/20 would make it too dim. It just goes to show you should test your assumptions.
