After an exciting 2 weeks where we had a brush with Super Typhoon Durian and a near miss with Typhoon Udon,clear skies are back. I was also sick after taking my last image probably due to flu and fatigue!
Condition was great this morning. The sky was very steady. Note the northern hemisphere of Saturn gets more and more visible now. The NNTZ is very prominent! There are even details on the NNTB!!
The Southern hemisphere belts are getting clearer as we get near opposition and as Saturn gets bigger and bigger.
This is my best image of Saturn!


Here's a better image than the one I sent earlier. Note the white spot on the SEB just before the CM.

Find here a new image of Saturn taken in poor seeing conditions but using an innovative tecnique which much improved the final result. Thanks to this, now the situation is a bit less desperate...
