Colour process from last night

#Saturn #Astrodon #Astrophotography
3000mm, 8" reflector

Telescopic view. Saturn appearing as a yellowish disk in the centre of the frame. North up. Banding - the north of the planet is more brownish yellowish, brighter yellow on the band nearest the equator. Subtle greenish tinge in the southern hemisphere. Rings appearing quite closed, a small amount of the Cassini division just visible on the far left and right edges. 4 moons are present as small, faint dots. Left to right they are Enceladus (on its own on the left), Rhea (just to the right of Saturn, very close - above the rings), Tethys and Dione which are close together on the right.
