Details:
I imaged the Saturn Opposition on 10-04 2026 form my Manorville NY Observatory. The seeing was average with some better seeing for a brief time.
Please Note:
Astronomical opposition happens when a planet is on the opposite side of Earth from the Sun. During this time, the outer planet is closest to Earth, fully illuminated by the Sun, and visible all night long (rising in the east at sunset and setting in the west at sunrise). This makes opposition the best time of the year to view these planets through binoculars or a telescope.
My imaging setup was an EdgeHD 14" / Baader Planetarium Baader Fluorite Flatfield Converter Barlow (BPFFC) / Gutekunst Optiksysteme Atmospheric Dispersion Corrector Player One URANUS-C IMX585 USB3.0 Color Camera with a Baader UV/IR-L Cut Filter, all on an AP1600GTO mount.
Kind Regards To ALL 🙂
