Another one from Solar System Meet. While imaging this seeing had gone a bit worse and I did not get many good frames and focusing was also a bit difficult. Some frames must have gone blurry because of passing people. It is amazing how much "Saturn quakes" small people can generate when there is about 7 meters of focal lenght... ;)
