About this image

This is purely a colour sequence de-rotated over seven minutes but remarkably good seeing just as I was taking it. My earlier IR data missed the start of Rhea's shadow in transit and I was about to take some further IR images to supplement the detail in this colour data when clouds rolled in and that was the end of the session. Typical, some really nice seeing and the clouds decided to roll in - aargh!
