Saturn 2019-08-26 03:17 UTC

Description

My first time since late-April imaging next to a parking lot at my university. Conditions were better for Saturn than for Jupiter. The gusts of wind were intense enough to push my laptop off the table if I didn't hold it down.

Notes:

The North Polar Region is various shades of green.
The North North Temperate Belt is dark.

Equipment

ZWO ASI174MM
