Description

Saturn, the night of June 15th.

Seeing is certainly our worst enemy. But on certain nights he becomes your best friend.
What do you need a Ferrari for on a mountain trail?
Of course, to see it is beautiful, but it all ends there.
The same thing goes for our telescopes, super-equipped, perfectly collimated, etc. etc.
If the seeing is poor ... Hi.

On the night of the 15th the seeing was quite mild, especially for Saturn, while the heat exchange of dawn made it more difficult for Jupiter to recover.

Saturn, which currently only has an apparent diameter of approx. 18 seconds of arc (41 with rings) and at the time of acquisition it was only 25 degrees above the horizon, it was particularly generous.
I never expected all this richness of detail at this time of the season. Come on, satisfied.

Ciao from Venezia
