シーイングは木星を撮影した時と比べたら若干悪くなったかな・・・

という程度でしたが、透明度が結構よくなってました。

天の川の暗黒部分がくっきりとわかるくらいの状態です!

数q離れたコンビニまで自転車を走らせましたが夜空を眺めながらの

徘徊は非常に素晴らしかったです。

Imaged Saturn this morning in fair seeing, This is the 6th consecutive night of mostly good seeing and is the longest run I have had since 2008. Looking at the computer models it seems that it may be a week or more before I get another chance to image.
This data, although in fair seeing, is not of the quality of the previous 5 mornings. That said, there is quite a large cloud feature in the EZ that is resolved in R, RGB & 742nm IR, it is just toward the F side of the CM. There is also a bright spot at the CM in the NEB in my IR data from 16:43 UTC.
Have put together an animation to hi-light the EZ feature using 1 R, RGB & IR image sequence.
