About this image

Three images covering from 01:15 to 02:45 UT on the morning of 21 July as Tethys crosed in front of Saturn. Saturn was betwen 24 and 33 degrees above the horizon, by UK standards far better than we have had for many years and enabling me to detect a very faint Tethys in front of Saturn.
