Description
A good night for imaging Saturn after missing a few to bad weather. Seeing improved by the time I moved on from Jupiter. I forgot to capture methane band images of Saturn this night.
Notes:
- The northern hexagon has a bright ring within it.
- The North North Temperate Belt is dark.
- The North Equatorial Belt is split by a thin band.
