We had a clear night here last night and I made an observation of Saturn in moderate seeing conditions:
Globe:
" The STB and SEB were seen and appeared to have a bluish colour- they were not as prominent and the NEB and NTB.
" The ShRG was seen just above the rings.
" EZ bright, yellowish in colour. There seemed to be a faint EB present.
" NEB broad, the NEB(s) is probably the darkest and the most prominent belt on the planet. The northern component of the NEB is much more diffuse.
" NTropZ fairly bright with a slight greenish tint.
" The NTB could also be made out but was not as prominent as the NEB. The NNTB could be seen just north.
" A greenish tint was present in the SPR and the NPR.
Rings:
" The tilt is now some 8.3° so the rings are quite narrow- still there are some details. In particular, the A-ring was a light brownish colour with a darker outer section.
" Cassini Division was well seen although it couldn't be seen all the way across the ansae.
" The B1-Ring was quite bright, white in colour and the B3 ring could be seen at the edges.
" C-Ring was seen and appeared quite dark as it crossed the globe.
" ShGR seen and was black in colour.
Intensity estimates made at 2358UT.
