Saturn UTC
CM1: 301.20°
CM2: 47.10°
CM3: 322.70°
CLat: +29.80°
Description
Unlike most nights, I started imaging Saturn with the methane band filter since the C8 was already focused for imaging without a barlow.
Notes:
- The North Polar Region region has various shades of green.
- The North North Temperate Belt is dark.
- The North Tropical Zone is thin and bright.
