Saturn UTC
CM1: 248.20°
CM2: 189.00°
CM3: 121.90°
CLat: +29.80°
Description
Excellent night for imaging the ringed planet, the only caveat being slight wind prohibiting use of the CGEM DX/C14 like many imaging sessions this summer.
Notes:
- The North Polar Region is green.
- The North North Temperate Belt is dark.
- The North Tropical Zone is thin and bright.
- The North Equatorial Belt is split by a thin band.
- The Equatorial Zone is split by a faint gray band on the equator.
