A lovely warm evening! Seeing was only average at around AIII although there were some steadier moments.
Globe: Features were once again a little difficult to pick up. IN the southern hemisphere,the SEB(N) was the strongest feature and a brownish red colour. The SEB(S) was detectable,but not easy. The STB was also present tonight,and perhaps a little broader than previously. The STropZ was fairly well defined,as was the duller,greyer STZ. SPR dusky.
EZ(S) only slightly darker than EZ(N)- this may well have been down to the seeing. Certainly the EZ(S) contained more yellow than the EZ(N). NEB a double feature and the easiest feature to see on the disk. The feature was clearly double and both NEB(S) and NEB(N) were easier to detect than the SEB components. Most unusual- there did not appear to be any features north of NEB(N)- the NTropZ,NTZ and the NPR appeared to be one fairly bright region. Similarly,the NTB was absent. In the moments of good seeing,I could detect a lovely pastel blue colour where the dusk shading of the NPR would normally be. This could only be seen in the moments of good seeing however and in average seeing the region was a fairly uniform yellow.
Rings: Very narrow now. A-Ring a grayish colour,Cassini just about visible in good moments only. The B-Ring was rather bright tonight,even at this angle. The gap between the planet's rings is no longer black- but rather a light yellowish colour as shown on the drawing attached.

Allego altre due versioni del video in cui ho rivisto l'allineamento dei
frames in modo piu preciso.
Una ha un'elaborazione piu delicata e l'altra piu forte.

I enclose two other versions of the video where I reviewed the alignment of
frames in more detail.
Processing has a more delicate and the other stronger.

 seeing conditions were fair (only
for seconds); Tethys and Enceladus are visibles in leaving from the
planet.

Other films are good,but let me more times to work it!

All the best to ALPO JP friends...


Here my best Saturn capture of the capturing session of last april
26th... here the seeing was a little best (about 6-6,5/10) and Tethys
and its shadow transit on the planet... maybe little red details are
visibles near the NEB(S) at central meridian.

This next week-end wether prevision are so good so I hope in my best
capturing of this opposition...


Here my last elaboration of my april 26th Saturn image (my best of
this year I think..).

See the last attached for more details.
