Saturn June 16th was created by jmckeon
Got this shot of Saturn around midnight on June 15th/16th.
Equipment used: C8 SCT with an astro engineering 2x barlow and ASI120mm camera.
The filters used were astronomik lrgb and Ir-pass
This is an RRGB image, using the red channel data as luminance. I also added some IR-pass data at about 20% opacity to the image, IR-pass seems to highlight the polar region cloud bands well.
Seeing was particularly good this night, considering Saturn really doesn't get that high up.
The moons are Tethys, Dione and Rhea.

Great image as always, John.
I was observing Saturn at precisely the same time. And I did see Rhea, Tethys and Dione. Titan was up in the northwest also.
I see you got the Cassini and the Encke divisions and the C -ring -Brilliant!
Plus Saturn's shadow on the back of the rings.
