Saturn 2008-9
|
 |
|
| RGB Image taken 5-16-09, f29, good seeing |
|
| You can barely see Rhea below left ring |
| Saturn 2 months past opposition, RGB f29 5-6-09 |
|
| Average seeing, Titan is the moon, rings opening up a bit |
| Saturn near opposition in (RG)RGB, f29, 3/16/09 |
|
| Uses red and green for extra detail. More true than RRGB, less than RGB. |
| Saturn near opposition, RRGB, f29, 3/16/09 |
|
| This technique uses the red channel twice for extra detail. Changes colors/natural appearance some. |

| Saturn and Three Moons, f/10, rgb, 3/16/09 |
|
| Two of the three brightest moons and Iapetus (which is only near Saturn sometimes) |
| It's getting closer, RGB Saturn f10, 3/5/09 |
|
|
| The rings are opening up again. Rhea (moon) is above lower ring. Windy so lower image scale. |
| It's getting closer, 1/21/09, RGB, f29 |
|
|
| Pretty good seeing for winter, you can see a little of the Cassini gap in rings, no visible storms |
| It's getting closer, 11/17/08, RGB, f29 |
|
|
| Notice how thin the rings are, pretty good seeing but not very transparent, blue channel was dim |
| Thin-ringed Saturn, RGB, 11-07-08, f29 |
|
| Saturn only looks like this every 15 years. Now the Northern Hemisphere will be featured. |
This was one of the first decent shots I've seen of Saturn this year. I sent it in to www.spaceweather.com and they posted it. It will be interesting to see Saturn's almost entire globe this year.
| Saturn is rising in the morning 10/20/08, RGB, f10 |
|
|
| Notice how thin the rings are, poor seeing, you can barely see Titan |
| Saturn and Titan on 10/20/08, RGB, f10 |
|
| I couldn't resist posting after I saw Titan. Hope you enjoy too. More to come as it gets closer... |
