This is first RGB Saturn of this season, depsite the very low altitude(26°) 
I got some nice seeing tonight, so nice I tried a little overkill with the focal length. 
Unfortunatly green and blue were pretty bad as expected, to compensate I used an IR image 
as luminance(which is why Saturn looks more greenish as it's supposed to be.
I resized the image back to 70%. 
The northern hemisphere isn't kind to us this and coming Saturn opposition, it only get's worse.
