< Previous Next >Saturn is back in the morning sky! I woke up to take some first test shots of M42 and found that Saturn was already quite high in the sky. So took a first image of the season. Seeing was mediocre and I was in hurry while my laptop battery was low. Note how much the tilt of the rings has changed after my last visit .
