We got a similar view through our 8" reflector, except the atmosphere was jumpy here in St. Louis so things were a tad blurry.
Saturn always amazes me...it looks so unreal - like a little painting in the sky  |

36. Over $4K in gear he used to get that shot. Follow-up tweet.....
Link to tweet Text: JRehling @JRehling
They will be about this close tomorrow night, too, and you can see Jupiter without a telescope, shortly after sunset. Saturn will be a little above it. Science is real. Education is what elevates us above the beasts. Celebrate it and enjoy the beauty. That's around $4,500 in telescope and camera he's using to get that shot. Thanks for posting, Roland99. Very nice photo......  |
