Conditions were very good today.  The sky was very stable despite the slight haze.  All these images were captured using a QHY5III585C camera.
I was finally able to capture a descent methane band. The QHY5III585C is really an incredible camera.  I just had to get enough data to capture the surface of Saturn in methane band.  Note the dark cloud on the EZn at the CM in methane band.  There is a hint of this on the IR image but not on the color image.  On high contrast images, the SEBs is lined up with white spots.  The moons Rhea (right) and Dione (left) can also be seen.
