Saturn

I could spend some time in the observatory today, cleaning the optics of the telescopes. For this purpose I use “KIMTECH” Kimwipes, and “WAC” wtting agent, both of which don’t leave any traces. Obviously demineralized water also.

Collimating the C14, and aligning the GM2000.

Saturn C14 664C F11

A little Saturn

Almost without any rings visible, tilted to it’s side…

The planet is 18.7″ at a distance of 1330 million kilometer, altitude above the southern horizon only 34°.
