SATURN 2010

SATURN 2012

Here's a new season for Saturn. Last year was very exciting because of the huge storm in the Northern Hemisphere.

These images are north up and were taken by my C14 mounted on an AP900GTO mount with a Flea3 camera.

You can also see my past images of Saturn at the ALPO Japan Kansai Branch site.

Here are some of my first images of Saturn this season. Transparency was very poor this morning. It was tough to get enough frames.

The rings of Saturn are getting wider. Note the bright green band in the northern temperate area. It is hard to make out the NEB but there seems to be a wide reddish area on the northern hemisphere of Saturn.
