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.
