Hi Alberto;

Very nice Saturn. Even with my 2.5x TeleVue on my C8, my saturn image is about 1/4 that size. Must have been some phenomenally stable skies.

When was this taken at in UTC and date?

On the right hand side of Saturn's disk, about 2 ring thicknesses up, between the two bands there is a slightly whiter patch that is right on the edge of Saturn. Do you think it's moon? Also, if you use a 0.4 Luma curve on that image, there are two more "blotches" (moons?) visible near the edge of the ring on the right hand side.

PS: Glad to see your out of the hospital..
