Saturn 2019-07-16 05:19 UTC

Description

Another pretty good summer night with Saturn, though a little too breezy for the C14. The nearly full Moon was very close, causing the sky to look very bright through the eyepiece, though not enough to affect imaging.

Notes:

The Equatorial Zone contains a thin and subtle band on the equator.
