Description:

Saturn imaged the night of August 19th from Singapore, a few days after the opposition. First image of the "Lord of the Rings" with the new telescope. Seeing was pretty good. The rings are particularly bright due to the Seeliger effect. Furthermore, a polar storm in progress ("WS" or "White Spot") is clearly visible on the top of the globe just past the meridian.
