Poor seeing conditions and very cloudy weather so I just grab two avi files
in IR wavelength,but was enough to catch a bright equatorial spot.

Christopher Go (Celestron C11)
It had been cloudy for the past weeks. Condition today wasn't great because transparency was poor. I was able to have a break late in the session before clouds and haze started to roll in again.
I was finally able to capture the Titan Transit. This type of transit is so rare that the last time this happened was in 1995. After March 12,the next one will be on 2025!!
The last 4 transits of this season will be on 1/23,2/8,2/24 and 3/12. The March 12 transit is the rarest as it will feature both Titan and it's shadow!! All the Titan transit this season will only be seen in the Austral/Asia region!
The color image is a LRGB image of Saturn and Titan. The monochrome animation was taken using luminance. The northern hemisphere is darker than the southern hemisphere. The STD is no longer visible so it must have dissipated. There is a hint of the Cassini Division at the edge of the ring.
