I imaged Saturn in late 2023 when it was very high in the sky in Brisbane. The seeing was good but not great. I was pleased to see, in the final recordings, that I had captured the ring spokes in the B ring. Look at the B ring on the left. The movie will play forwards-reverse several times (and I increased the contrast). Do you see the small dark feature in the B ring? That is a ring spoke! <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-extra-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"240\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 320 \/ 240;\" width=\"320\" controls src=\"https:\/\/astroimg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/SATURNRINGSPOKES_20230925_1233_TO_1248_x264_001.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-extra-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#0000ff\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Image details: September 25 2023. 12.33 to 12.48 UT. 31-cm Newtonian.<\/mark> Here is another, shorter recording which also shows ring spokes.

Also visible is the moon Tethys transiting (its shadow is visible moving off the disk of Saturn), Dione passing above the planet and the much fainter Enceladus in the top right (you&#8217;ll need a good monitor).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-extra-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"456\" src=\"https:\/\/astroimg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/SATURN_20230916_1205_ZACPUJIC.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-723\" srcset=\"https:\/\/astroimg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/SATURN_20230916_1205_ZACPUJIC.jpg 900w, https:\/\/astroimg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/SATURN_20230916_1205_ZACPUJIC-300x152.jpg 300w, https:\/\/astroimg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/SATURN_20230916_1205_ZACPUJIC-768x389.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#0000ff\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Saturn in 2020<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"834\" src=\"https:\/\/astroimg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/SATURN_20200829_1140_ZACPUJIC-1024x834.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-906\" srcset=\"https:\/\/astroimg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/SATURN_20200829_1140_ZACPUJIC-1024x834.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/astroimg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/SATURN_20200829_1140_ZACPUJIC-300x244.jpg 300w, https:\/\/astroimg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/SATURN_20200829_1140_ZACPUJIC-768x625.jpg 768w, https:\/\/astroimg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/SATURN_20200829_1140_ZACPUJIC-1536x1251.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/astroimg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/SATURN_20200829_1140_ZACPUJIC.jpg 1545w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#0000ff\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Saturn in 2005<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"556\" src=\"https:\/\/astroimg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/zp20050220_1150.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-698\" srcset=\"https:\/\/astroimg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/zp20050220_1150.jpg 900w, https:\/\/astroimg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/zp20050220_1150-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/astroimg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/zp20050220_1150-768x474.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"737\" height=\"510\" src=\"https:\/\/astroimg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/zp20050119.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-701\" srcset=\"https:\/\/astroimg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/zp20050119.jpg 737w, https:\/\/astroimg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/zp20050119-300x208.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 737px) 100vw, 737px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"624\" height=\"413\" src=\"https:\/\/astroimg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/zp20050115.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/astroimg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/zp20050115.jpg 624w, https:\/\/astroimg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/zp20050115-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"624\" height=\"413\" src=\"https:\/\/astroimg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/zp20050113.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-699\" srcset=\"https:\/\/astroimg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/zp20050113.jpg 624w, https:\/\/astroimg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/zp20050113-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saturn and Ring Spokes in 2023 Image details: August 31 2023. 12.02 to 13.35 UT.
