Comments: Imaged Saturn December 27th, have only 685nm IR data. My season is rapidly drawing to a close as Saturn sinks toward the horizon. The determining factor for me is the hand rail around the stair well leading to the ground floor of my observatory which happens to be on the western side of my scope. For this session Saturn was at 20 degrees alt with my telescope tube very nearly coming into contact with the hand rail. This data resolves some low contrast detail within the EZ.
