Seeing was excellent this evening. Just had to image the Seelinger effect.
Good seeing allowed me to get a lot of details in Saturn's disk. Note the white spot at the STZ after the CM. Is this the "dragon" remnant? Note Tethys just below the ring on the left and Rhea on the left.
The Seelinger effect is more pronounced in the monochrome luminance image below. This opposition effect will peak on the 8th!! You can see the brightness difference between Saturn's disk and ring in the last 3 imaging session on this page.
