About this image

After a day of poor weather there was a brief period when the clouds thinned enough to be able to image Saturn. I was surprised to find it was reasonably steady, as immediately before I had briefly looked at Jupiter but it wasn't steady enough for a decent image. I managed three IR pass and RGB sequences of Saturn before it was obstructed from my view. This image is a combination of the two better IR + RGB sequences derotated with Winjupos. The dark green area of the hexagon can just about be made out.
