Titan itself and its shadow,a close up of the two and a white oval.

La sera tra il 20 e 21 settembre Saturno si e presentato all'opposizione insieme ad ottime condizioni atmosferiche. Questo mi ha invogliato a cercare di ritrarlo in modo un po' diverso dal solito,ovvero accompagnato dalle sue lune principali.
Vi propongo quanto ottenuto,sicuramente la visione dell'occhio non raggiunge la definizione delle riprese digitali,ma il fascino del pianeta con gli anelli rimane sempre notevole!

Imaged under fair conditions one day prior to opposition. Titan and shadow are in transit near the north limb.
Note the reddish hue of Titan in the RGB image. The rings appear very bright,probable Seeliger effect.
A pale light spot is visible in the south on the LRGB image.

Clear,hazy and humid throughout the night on Sept 20th and I was therefore able to image the Shadow Transit of Titan from beginning to end. The seeing was above average for most of the evening and only average towards the end. There was not a jet stream over Florida at the time. Fortunate since this is the peak of hurricane season in Florida! One more ST of Titan to go on Oct 6th just after midnight. Hope for clear skies.
This transit was my favorite since Titan was in front of the disk of the planet just under the shadow. In addition,the event occurred one day prior to opposition,therefore the rings exhibited the Seeliger effect. I made an animation of the event. Frank Melillo of ALPO informed me of the small white oval on the southern portion of the planet. You can see the oval move across the planet in the animation. Thanks Frank.
