Saturn

Saturn in R-RGB.

In the animation in red light several spokes can be seen. The animation contains only 4 frames, and runs between 06:03 and 6:24UT (start times of two minute recordings).



And here is an a recording in Ir-R-G light that was taken around 6:00UT (Ir > 742nm).

Saturn

An RGB image of Saturn (south up, showing the storm broken up in smaller pieces), and an animation in red light between 21:09 and 21:44UTC (south down, the storm again visible)

Saturn

A 'big' stack of about 20.000 frames for each channel, taken in a couple of hours time (structure within the bands are lost, but the banding is pretty sharp)

Saturn Animation

Animation of Saturn in RGB lights showing a nice big storm on Saturn.
20:58 - 23:38 UTC.

This one is in red light:


And another in red light but in much higher contrast:

Saturn

Saturn and Tethys during good seeing conditions. Not perfect, because the blue channel was noticably worse than the red channel, but for the altitude (37 degrees) I don't think you can get much better!

The image is an R-RGB recording.



In the bottom animation (22:15-23:41) you can again see a black dot moving around the B-ring. Similar to what is seen in the April 22 and March 10 images. Spokes?

Saturn Animation

My best Saturn recording under pretty good seeing conditions. It shows several storms and cloud structures rotating between 01:01 and 02:30 UTC.

Also, I believe a spoke is visible on the ring structure at the right of Saturn. Look closely, and you'll see a black structure moving from right to left and back again in the lower right ring structure.

All unages are R-RGB images (10 in total).

Saturn in Infrared

Image shows Saturn (and Titan) in three infrared light bands;
red = >807nm, green: 742-807nm, blue: 685-742nm. To get a sharper seperation between the filters, the 807nm image was removed from the 742nm, and the 742nm was removed from 685nm. Capture settings (and transparancy) were the same during the recording; 1/30s, 30fps, 1023gain.
