Here痴 an image of Saturn in excellent conditions on the 22nd,
possibly the best conditions of the year even though Saturn was setting by this stage.
There is at least one small storm just past the meridian and a couple of other streaks,but otherwise fairly quiet.
One cool aspect is the visibility of the planet through the thin A ring at the front ・not a processing artefact!
The rings・shadow on the planet is a little 訴nside・the rings at this time of year,
so the sunlit planet can be seen through the outermost rings.
It is clearer on the right side than the left as the shadow slopes just a little owing to the viewing geometry
・also seen by the C Ring shadows on the planet.
The polar hexagon is just about visible,a little redder than the blue polar hood.
