Here is an image of Saturn,my first of the season,(and finally a good seeing night!)
Taken with the 10 inch Newton and the ToUcam pro pcvc740k at 10fr/s and 1/25 sec exp.
I see several smaller rings in the B ring and a kind of dark structure or gap in the C-ring?
Also several bands on the globe are present.


This image was taken about 8 minutes earlier,now in the raw mode of the ToUcam.
Some moons are visible in the same image.
The contrast in the cloud belts seems to be higher in the normal mode.

I have now putted the names of the concerning moons on the image.
(searched with NASA solar system symulator)


This pre- processed image taken in ToUcam raw mode shows better sharpness of the ringdivisions.

Hi everybody,
This picture of Saturn has been taken in the early morning. The atmosphere was very smooth and I got wonderful views of Saturn with my beloved Celestron 14. Despite a cold temperature and a shallow mist, the ATK-1HS did a very good job with several color filters. The Cassini division is clearly visible all around the ring and some parts of the Encke division and minimum as well. One (maybe two) spot is developping in the vicinity of the equatorial belt in the Southern hemisphere. To be confimed by other pictures and observations.
Olivier...
