Finally got some good seeing last Saturday, October 4th and was able to stay out all night and image Saturn and Jupiter and not worry about having work the next day. Seeing and transparency were both above average for once. Been going through the data I collected the past few days and have a few "in progress" images, but here is the first one I finished which is Saturn. Always difficult trying to get the colors right as different monitors and screens (phones/tablets) can be calibrated differently and the image can appear off. Saturn's rings are close to edge on after crossing that point this past March. Belts/Zones (like on Jupiter) are also visible on the planet.

Wow - it's amazing to see how much the tilt of the rings has changed just since your image in August with the Titan crossing. Well done!
