Saturn Observation (16-6-2015)

We finally had clear sky almost a month after the opposition of Saturn. This year, Saturn's ring is almost at its maximum angle to us, making its majestic shape very prominent. The newly-installed motors in the 18-inch telescope made the tracking of the telescope very easy even when viewing at 500x. Some of us even saw a hint of the Encke division when the atmosphere was very steady. The best view, however, was with the binoviewer and the new pair of 14mm eyepieces.
