With the transit occurring well after sunrise,and with Saturn dropping in altitude,I had no intention of trying to capture the transit this morning.
However,after a decent Mars session,I thought I would have a look,and off course,I was then “hooked”.
I followed developments from 05:29UT (6 mins before sunrise),until 07:07UT (1h 32mins after sunrise). Saturn’s altitude dropped from 46 deg to 24 deg during this period.
A very challenging imaging session,and after my poor first attempts,I resorted to 2x binning to give me more flexibility with the camera settings. The seeing deteriorated as the altitude dropped,and the OTA was exposed to the Sun.
But given the conditions,and the challenges,I’ll take it!

Note that Titan is in 'Transit' front of Saturn.

The color animated GIF,taken with UV/IR cut,shows satellites and sV shadows.
The b/w animated GIF,taken around 30minutes later,with IR filter w88a (gelatine bp > 700nm),shows sV(s5) satellite (Rhea) in front of the SEB.
Its shadows is now gone outside the planet surface.

A rather soft image due to only fair seeing but worse transparency. Titan is in transit near the CM.

I tried to capture this morning’s interesting constellation of Saturn’s moons and their shadow.
Unfortunately,due to the seeing,only Titan and Rhea’s shadow came out relatively well.

The moon Titan is in transit across the globe.

I made an observation and sketch of the recent transit of Titan.
I found that detecting Titan was very seeing dependent and I was fortunate to see it,even though it only appeared as a dull smudge.
