Good seeing this a.m and my day off; so took the opportunity to get colours on the computer re-calibrated (Corel Draw/PhotoPaint and the monitor) to so as to colourise the drawing. Not quite finalised but hopefully somewhere near!
A nice golden hue in the rings now - p. ansa slightly the brighter but there is a more ruddy tint in the f. one.
Much variegation in the main belts - subtle and not so subtle.

Mike Salway(304mm newton)

Hi all Although my body was aching from my first sparring class in over 4
weeks at Karate the night before, I was still determined to get up at 2am to
image Saturn on the morning of the 14th January. The very hot days we've had
and the High Pressure system sitting over the NSW East Coast is usually a
good sign that the seeing is going to be quite good. It didn't disappoint,
and I was able to capture Saturn from between 2:30am to 4:30am in quite
reasonable seeing - definitely my best for this apparition (although it's
only my 3rd image for this apparition).
