First views of Saturn 12-08-2023
Late this evening from about 11.10pm, I was finally able to get to see Saturn through the clouds. I had a window of about 35 mins where the planet was visible through the clouds and managed to get my wide field telescope to look at it.
As always, Saturn is most beautiful and mind-blowing to see . It’s such a huge planet with rings and is a billion kms away from us!!!
Below is a star chart showing how Saturn is currently positioned to compare with the photo below.

Here are a couple of photos and a video. Please note that they are not the best quality, as there were clouds and were captured using a wide field telescope. Nevertheless, it’s quite thrilling to see and capture it. Hope you will like it.
