Images from the NTU telescope

image of Saturn taken on 21-5-2010

This is how our ringed planet – Saturn – appeared to us on May 21, 2010 with the Meade ETX-125 at NTU. It is a combination from the best images obtained from more than 1000 single images.

Unfortunately, the rings cannot be seen very well as a result of Earth being very close to the plane of Saturn's rings. This happens every few years. Compare this image with our other Saturn picture and see for yourself how much difference only a few years have.
