新規鏡筒の口径ですが、微妙な数値ですが254mmでありました。もし、正確を
帰すようでしたら、ご変更をお願い致します。
また、160mm口径も今後TPOで、併用して参ろうと考えております。
(鏡面精度は160mmの方が俄然良いようです。)

衝に向けて、ハイリゲンシャイン効果が顕著になって来ました。眼視でも本体手前の
輪が、本体よりもかなり明るく白く輝いていました。
また、ZE部に、白いムラが感じられ、1/29日の瀧本さんの報告を思い出しました。




ハイリゲンシャイン効果の画像ですが国立天文台の画像解析ソフト「マカリ」を
使って、グラフによる輝度分布図も加えた画像を作りました。

It was "a bit parky" here this morning,temp. about -4C. I resorted to the
heated summer house for remote imaging,only coming out to change the filter.
Seeing was of a blurry species. However,Registax has done well to reveal some
ring details. Nothing new on globe,but the rings are taking on that 'glowing'
effect just prior to opposition,which evidences itself most in the blue.


Here is something a bit different.

On February 07, three days before the opposition of Saturn, all the bright 
satellites were almost in a line, with Titan close to greatest western 
elongation, Iapetus about two-thirds of the way to greatest western 
elongation, and several others close to greatest eastern elongation.

This image is a composite of an image derived from a sequence of 0.8s exposures 
taken at short focal length to show all the satellites in one frame, and an 
image derived from webcam videos consisting of 0.1s exposures, taken at long 
focal length, to shown the planet's details and colours.

The whole of the long-exposure image is shown in the inset. 

In the composite, the sizes of the satellite disks do not represent true sizes 
in respect to Saturn, obviously. They are just indicative of brightness.

The time given is for the satellite image. The planet was imaged about an hour 
earlier.

Seeing was very good this evening. This allowed me to get his very sharp image of Saturn. Note the very bright ring and the pale disk of Saturn compared to my earlier images below. This is the Seeliger Effect which occurs during opposition. This year opposition will be on Feb 12.
Note also the Cassini division in front of Saturn's disk,you can see some parts of the disk through the CD!! Again the SEB and STB of Saturn is quiet at this location.


Here are more images from last nights session!

コメント:昨日よりも透明度が改善したが、シーイングは悪化した。
          一昨日よりも、ハイリゲンシャイン効果が増したようです。

透明度良く晴れましたが、、土星は小刻みに跳びはねていました。
