Saturn was at opposition when this image was image was taken on Saturday evening 11:24pm MST.
Image taken with Celestron Nexstar 11 telescope, Televue 2.5X Powermate, and Phillips Toucam 840K webcam. Still somewhat fuzzy, but my best thus far this year. Weather conditions weren’t great, thin haze, turbulence only fair maybe around 5/10. The sky was partly cloudy, 3 mph wind, and temperature 38°F.
