We had excellent seeing and a lovely view last night,as attested by three
members of West of London AS who were at my observatory,testing a new video
camera and viewing through binoviewers.

This activity meant that I did not image until after culmination,but perhaps
that was a good thing,since several interesting features are present in these
images. There are two bright spots in the EqZ visible in both R and G,just S of
the ring shadow on the globe,that  I measure using JUPOS at I=352.5 and I=10.2.
Also there seems to be a reddish barge on the N edge of the SEB,dark in G,
between the longitude of these white spots,at I=358.8. I have not seen anything
like this before.

Dione and Tethys were also close enough in to be caught in the same images,but
require a brightened red image to reveal them,also attached. Dione is to the S,
Tethys to the N of the rings.

It's back to earth now for me after the release of the Hubble Images of the Feb 24 Quad Transit in Saturn. Seeing was fantastic this evening. I had to capture the start of Rhea's transit.
Note Rhea and it's shadow as it moves along Saturn's disk. The Cassini Division is distinct in this image. The banding detail on Saturn is very nice. The south polar area has a lot of nice bandings. The northern polar area is still dull. The color difference between the SEB and NEB is quite pronounced. The SEB is very dark while the NEB is dull.

Seeing was fair,but the transparency poor,so,the exposure time was 1/6 sec.

コメント:黄砂の影響が出ているようで、透明度が悪い。
昨年末よりも環が開いて見えるが、このように環の傾きが
閉じたり開いたりとしながら環が見えなくなるのが判る。
本体の模様は不鮮明で、判らない。

Under very good seeing. 
Note the banding in the methan band image (concerning the quite long exposure9.
