Here is my first Saturn of the year taken right after imaging Mars with a tilt angle of approax. 15 deg. and still showing remnant of the Serpent Storms turbulent path in the the northern region (top) just before sunrise. Still 4 months from Opposition (closest) to us.

Equipment: LX200ACF 12 in. OTA, F30, CGE mount, PGR Flea3 Ccd, TeleVue 3x barlows, Astronomik Ir, RGB filter set.
