I made a sketch of Saturn V.mag. 0.51, in Aquarius at 10:00 pm local time in the partly cloudy skies here.
CM1 161.8°
CM2 278.5°
CM3 216.7°
I used pastel pencils on black sketching paper. I included 2 of Saturn’s bright moons which were close by.
Rhea and Tethys both about 10th mag,
Air temperature was 32° C ( 90° F), seeing was 3/5 transparency was 3/5.
Saturn always impressive at the eyepiece.
Telescope 18” f4.8 Dobsonian scope 6mm eyepiece 366x
