The first warm day in spring with temeratures above 20°C.
Unfortunately I was stuck on the motorway and came back late. Seeing looked
quite good after dusk and transparancy was excellent. I started imaging
at 20:36 local time with a very poorly cooled down scope - tube current
was a real problem. Whith the scope cooling down slowly seeing degraded
substantially so the results from the begin and end of this Saturn session
don't differ in quality :(
Troughout the session the Cassini-division couldn't be seen constantly
visually to indicate the quality of seeing and tube current.
I tried several processing variants for the images. Some are sharpened harder to enhance cloud bands on the planet, some are processed softer to preserve the faint C-ring..
