Can't remember the last time I imaged Saturn... 

First Saturn of this 2012/13 season.

This has been a very long and cloudy winter, spring and summer and I was just lucky enough this evening, just before the clouds rolled in once again... the Blue channel was recorded with very low transparency due to clouds rolling in.

I just can't believe this!

Seeing: better than average around here, but not able to go to f/30.

July 5th was the 2nd hottest day this year: 41ºC (105.8ºF) so I only went out at 19:00UT...
The Sun was low and through clouds and ash haze which made it impossible to capture the avi with   the usual settings (1/45sec).
