Saturn UTC
CM1: 234.20°
CM2: 323.10°
CM3: 288.40°
CLat: +29.30°
Description
An excellent night for planetary imaging, with the usual caveat of being too breezy for using the CGEM DX/C14.
Notes:
- There's a subtle white smudge in the western side of the northern hexagon.
- The NEBn is well defined on its northern edge by the thin NTZ.
- The NEB is split by a subtle band, which is better defined in near-infrared.
- The EZ is also split by a thin gray band.
