Woke up this morning at 2:45 to spend some time with Saturn. Once I had everything all set to go, the wind kicked up. Plus the “seeing” (atmospheric turbulence) was less than ideal. All said, it was still a pleasure to shoot this beautiful gas giant.
Saturn is currently approximately 850 million miles from Earth. It will reach its 2025 closest point of 794 million miles in mid/late September.

No BS. Honestly inquiring. I did a study on gas giants (in the 80s). You “SERIOUSLY” took this photo from Earth? (Like you may have taken it from somewhere else).This is fascinating, no joke.
