Saturn

Saturn is back in the evening sky. Having shot some three colour video sequences of Mars on the Celestron 9.25 I switched to Saturn which was just rising out of the murk at about 20 degrees elevation. The rings are just beginning to open out after last year’s edge on aspect and with the planet higher in the sky as it approaches opposition it should be favourable for imaging.

1500 frames each of red, green and blue video were stacked and combined for this image.
