Saturn 14th April Date: 14th April 2007 20:50 ut Telescope: C-14 @ F/40 Camera: Lumenra 075M The tilt of the rings changes very little throughout the month. The visibilty of the globe through Cassini's Division is apoint of interest, with Ring A, the outer ring, looking like glass. The "globe on rings" shadow subtley inreases in size during the month.

Saturn 7th Apr Date: 7th April 2007 20:18 ut Telescope: C-14 @ F/40 Camera: Lumenra 075M The seeing throughout April was the best of the apparition. In the latter part of the month imaging began at dusk, where the best of the evenings seeing was to be had. If we were lucky this would continue for an hour into the dark sky.
