Saturn UTC
CM1: 243.70°
CM2: 332.30°
CM3: 297.50°
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:
- The north pole is circled by a bright donut in the hexagon.
- The NEB is clearly split in near-infrared, which is barely visible in visible light.
- The EZ is also split by a subtle and thin band.
