Fairly average conditions this morning,with the best conditions towards sunrise. I could not detect any indication of the rings in the live,onscreen,image. Again,with normal processing there is a very faint hint of the rings,which is brought out by increased contrast and brightness. There are a few lighter spots below centre in the CH4,but these could be artefacts in the noise.

土星の環は昨日と違って望遠鏡で環をはっきり確認。一日に違いで見えたのは空の条件の違いなのか？わからないが兎に角、見え出した。 45㎝反射は光軸調整中で使えずC14を使用≪Cebu PHILLIPINES 阿久津富夫≫

Slowly working through a processing backlog - here's an image of Saturn from the 8th, with Titan, Rhea and four other moons lined up along the axis of its ghostly ring system just two days after equinox. Though the rings are visible with a strong stretch in the RGB data, I have brightened moons only in RGB as seeing wasn't so great. In enhanced IR, the rings were starting to show more definition after equinox, with the full sweep of rings visible, and not just the nearside edge as I saw on 3rd and 6th.
