Superb image, Tom!
I noticed last night (up until 11:00 pm) that the sky was unusually steady (for
Arizona, anyway). I was splitting double stars at 0.7" of arc and getting
figure eights at 0.5".

Subject: [AZ-Observing] Very Good Seeing and Another Saturn Image
I got up again at 4:00 to do a seeing check, hoping the result would be a
return to bed. But no, there was only a bit of image motion at 300x. I came
away with a much better image of Saturn than yesterday's. Notice that Titan
has moved to the east of the planet.

Still need to mess with the color balance, or are the edge-on rings really that
red compared to the disk?
