Details:
The first three photos show Saturn on the day of its opposition, with the rings adding a lot to the beauty of the planet. Please note that only a camera (Canon PowerShot SX60 HS) was used for the shots, taken around 23:55 UT, with no telescope attached to it. Also consider that these were single shots with no use of stacking. The last photo, taken at 22:29 UT, shows the planet and the constellation Scorpius rising over a populated hill in Rio.
