Saturn + 3 Moons - 21/4/08

[Matty P]

It has been a while since I have imaged a planet. I've been too busy imaging those faint DSOs.

I was lucky to find Saturn and its three Moons close together. The view was spectacular through the EP and i'm glad that I captured it. Conditions were good and held steady for most of the night.

The three moons are Enceladaus, Tethys and Rhea (left to right).

Thanks for looking. :smile:

Three moons, how cool. What size scope were you using for this again?

Cheers
