CM1: 255.70°
CM2: 196.20°
CM3: 129.10°
CLat: +29.80°
Description
Excellent night for imaging the ringed planet, the only caveat being slight wind prohibiting use of the CGEM DX/C14 like many imaging sessions this summer.
Notes:
- The northern hexagon has a bright ring within it.
- The North North Temperate Belt is dark.
- The North Tropical Zone is thin and bright.
- The North Equatorial Belt is split by a thin band.
