Saturn 2019-06-27 05:30 UTC

Description

Despite being heavily obscured by clouds, I wasn't planning to give up as long as I could see Saturn on the screen, and it stayed visible long enough to capture enough near-infrared data for an image.

Notes:

The North Temperate Belt stands out as being distinctly dark in an area with little contrast otherwise.
