Saturn 2020-04-14 11:17 UTC

CM1: 217.00°
CM2: 186.70°
CM3: 184.90°
CLat: +24.90°
Description
First Saturn image of the apparition where I'm not shooting low through the bright dawn sky. Tested a shorter exposure with higher gain to cut through the seeing. Image turned out better than expected, so I think it worked well.
Notes:
The northern regions are slightly redder compared to last apparition.
