On Wednesday night I captured Saturn in above average seeing - the second
time that week! When I’d finished processing the images,I noticed a faint
Moon near the edge of Saturn,and a dark feature just under the ring plane.
When blinking between the two images,I saw that the feature had moved,so I
check Starry Night Pro planetarium software and found that the small Moon
was Rhea and the dark spot on Saturn’s disc was Rhea’s shadow.
You can see the animation of the two frames below,as well as the 2 colour
images.
The difference in brightness between the two red channel images is due to
the capture settings. In the first image,I had gamma at 110 and in the
second,120. The blue channel was so faint,I bumped up the gamma to capture
all 3 channels at 15fps rather than dropping blue back to 7.5fps.
