[Atmob-discuss] Saturn on Monday night

[Steve Beckwith]

Very nice image John.  You can even make out the crepe ring - something a
bit challenging with the current ring tilt.

Earlier this week we had a few nights of very steady seeing, but with poor
transparency. This image was taken on Monday night. April 21st, at 10:45pm
(0245UT on the 22nd). The poor transparency caused me to use a lower
magnification than I'd usually like to, in order to keep the camera's
exposure and gain settings reasonably low.

The image shows a storm --- appearing as a bright spot in Saturn's South
Tropical Zone.
