Description

Saturn’s opposition was on 2020-07-21 22 UT this year. The right is taken around 18 hours after opposition with a 12 inch Newtonian. The left is taken around a week later with a C14. Though both photos are taken with different instruments and in different atmospheric seeing condition, it is clear that the ring of Saturn is brighter when near opposition.
