David Gray (415mm Dall-Kirkham)
Back in action again after a busy festive season and poor observing weather: a high pressure system over the country these past weeks would have brought good seeing,but too much cloud with this one unfortunately.
Rings have a nice orange/gold hue overall; p. ansa somewhat the brighter particularly in the region of the B ring.

Rhea and transit of Tethys.
Best regards.

 1月5日早朝の土星像ですが、寒気と強風で
seeing が滅茶苦茶な状態で、環は翳んでしまい、処理できません。

Christophe Pellier (250mm Cassegrain)
Seeing was superb here last sunday morning, unfortunately as for Damian the transparency was poor. The B filter is exposed 10 mn.
Visible light : the shadow of Thetys is visible, as well as the moon itself, at the very limit
