[AZ-Observing] Re: Titan Shadow Transit Images

Tom, I dont think Ive ever seen shadows on Saturn like that before, simply 
stunning.  It cleared up here in Payson after midnight last night, and while we 
didnt catch saturn, got a great view of the comets anti tail this morning.

Seeing was poor, but at least it cleared for this morning's transit of Titan
and its shadow.j  Here's a tri-color image taken at 4:50 a.m.

And here is a 90-minute time-lapse animation of 10 frames taken between 3:30
and 5:00 a.m.

Both the shadow and Titan were evident visually, but they required ludicrous
magnification to see.
