Great sketch Sol, does your 6" refractor give razor sharp images at 400x?,usually mine minus chromacorr gets mushy after about 250x on Saturn.Have you seen any white spots ? some others have observed them this opposition session.

Excellant sketch Carlos,would the dark section in the middle of the A ring be the Encke gap? or Encke minuma? this subject has been hotly debated on other forums.

Great sketch of Saturn, nice to see you back sketching again,yes the ALPO site does have templates for Saturn which do take in the account of the tilt of the rings which I think are now about 23 degrees,great job again very realistic.
