Details:
Saturn is now at prime viewing with opposition on the 21st July, the northern hemisphere of the planet has been on display while the rings have been fully open, but now part of the southern hemisphere is coming into view and the rings are again closing up. Saturn and Jupiter are now close in the sky on the ecliptic, this astronomical event only happens once every 20 years. So keep and eye on these two gas giants as both planets slowly edge closer and closer for a spectacular conjunction on the 21st December 2020.
My image was taken with a Meade LX200 GPS 10 inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and a ZWO 120 MC-S camera and 3x Barlow lens attached. An AVI movie with 1500 frames was captured and stacked in RegiStax6 and processed in PS CS4.
