Seeing was good today. Nothing special with Saturn this evening. No transits or spots. The rings are still bright a day after opposition. The band detail is also good.
Note that the northern hemisphere is still darker than the southern hemisphere. The SEB is also redder than the NEB which currently is a bit pale.
Just a reminder for the Titan transit in March 12. This will be visible from the western Americas to east Austral-Asia. The best view again will be at the mid-Pacific. This will be a gazing transit with shadow. It will start around 9UT and end around 13UT.
