Saturn stirring up a beehive...

A challenge, if possible, to those of you in the astrophotography realm...

I was just outside with the scope looking at, among other things, Saturn right below the Beehive. I wonder if any of you can image Saturn each night from now when possible, and see how much it moves to its closest approach to the Bees on February 4th...

As it stands, its a lovely sight. I'm about to get dinner now (chicken chasseur, yum!), but later I hope to get the courage to go out and sketch the sight!

To help, I have left the ETX out there following it! :lol:

Seanie.

Ah Seanie, I have to come clean, I 've been working on this since christmas to put a string of images together to show saturn's movement against the beehive....

Will keep you posted..

Keith..

Looking forward to seeing them Keith. Only a week to wait now.

Here is my sketch attempt from tonight:



Seeing conditions are really nice out there tonight.
