13. March 2007: Saturn
Giancarlo Lombardi
At my place in Munich, apart some dew on the scope, I was able to photograph Saturn.
Seeing was quite good. I could spot immediately, apart Titan with its
orange yellowish colour, 4 other satellites (Barlow 3x + 40 mm eyepiece).
The result is the following. Interesting the equatorial storm, barely
viewable in the visible and very clear in infrared to the right border of
the disk, together with the south pole hurricane, which is now tilted more
away from us (at edge of disk).Encke division is visible in the picture.
