I had good conditions for this pencil sketched Saturn observation with my 6" refractor.

Superb sketch of Saturn. Can't wait till I can get my 6" refractor on it as well. Still to cold around that time for me. Will have to wait a little while. I'm just getting old and grumpy I guess.

Very nicely done and applaud your effort.

Well, since the thread is about this morning's Saturn I will post my sketch here. Unlike Sol, I had bad conditions for my ATMed 10" f/7 newton, that's what I could do. I still don't have an AR motor so I sketched soon after the observation; wouldn't do that for Jupiter but it's not like Saturn in bad seeing overwhelms you with details. It's still a start, more to come hopefully!

New Haven (CT), Feb. 25, 2013, UT 11.00, L1=135, L2=7
Newton 10" f/7, 300x, no filters, seeing IV (Ant.).

The few intensity estimates I could reliably made (BAA scale).

Thanks to you for the good sketch. I was not sure about the EB and NTB - seeing was just that bad - but I can see them in your drawing too.

Thanks again. The NEB in concert with Saturn's lower altitude should prove to be interesting.

Nice sketch - thanks for the template. It's still in those am hours I can't even think about being up for . Soon though.

Nice smooth contrasts.

Er... are you sure this was made with a pencil? Because to me it rather looks like a picture! Superb, Sol!
