Saturn is absolutely gorgeous and is far and away my favorite solar system object to observe. I was very exited to start imaging this planet, and I used my experience in imaging Jupiter to help with this. It took me multiple attempts and nights to come up with an image that I liked, and I am very pleased with the result. We can see the planet and the rings very clearly here, as well as the Cassini division and some of the gaseous bands surrounding the planet.
