Title

Saturn and two moons in steady seeing

About this image

Taken in pre-dawn skies. This morning (June 30th) with the UK in the middle of a heat wave and sticky humid conditions Saturn rose in the sky as steady as I have seen it for a long time. This is one of my later image sets using an IR 642 nm long pass filter - both Dione and Enceladus can be seen. More to come when I have processed the rest of the data!
