Saturn 2019-07-16 05:29 UTC

Description

Another good summer night with Saturn, though a little too breezy for the C14. The nearly full Moon was very close, causing the sky to look very bright through the eyepiece, though not enough to affect imaging.

Notes:

The Equatorial Zone contains a thin band on the equator, more visible in the methane band than visible light.
Tethys is faintly visible near the one o'clock position relative to Saturn.
