Saturn 15th May 2009

Saturn Titan and Rhea - May 2009
Saturn Titan & Rhea-
On the 15th of February 2009. 10-inch Sky-Watcher Newtonian and GSTAR-EX (ProStar RGB filters). I was a little disappointed I didn't have everything set-up early enough to grab a view of Titan's shadow transit in full but the view was fantastic all the same in this late stage.

 

Saturn & Titan
On the 8th of February 2009 this among several others within a sequence was taken with the GSTAR- EX camera and true tech RGB filter set through thin hazy skies. It is not the shadow of Titan but the disk of the moon itself.

Saturn & moons - unfortunately Iapetus was too far outside the field of view of the GSTAR-EX camera for the image to reveal 7 moons.
