Excellent seeing here last night allowed a fine view of Saturn to coincide with Cassini's much talked about Saturn/Earth portrait shot. This image was taken shortly before Cassini's photo run. Some faint diffuse spots can be seen on the disk but otherwise things look quiet.
This will be my last session for this apparition. Very nice to end on a high note and i spent the last 20mins or so just visually observing the planet - a wonderful view through the eyepiece and again some remarkbly stable air given the altitude.

Attached is an image of Saturn taken with a Canon T4I in HD video mode. I used Registax 5 and Photoshop CS2 for processing.
