@SVBONYsvbony How about a hand controller for planetary imaging.

@BackdoorAstro That is for sure a spoke, well done!

[Mitchell Duke @MitchellDuke05]

@lethbridge Got one now living at the house 😬

@BackdoorAstro @grok @slyapustin The storm is real however it is white. Your color balance is off. Also storms are very common on Saturn. Similar to Jupiter's storm activity. Its just hard to image them due to contrast, and distance.

[Mitchell Duke @MitchellDuke05]

@SteaknShake No you just take advantage of the situation.

[Mitchell Duke @MitchellDuke05]

@cosmichome Thanks! Its a custom built 18" Newtonian.

@SkyInspector Thanks Martin! I have about three hours of data from the night. When I get some time I will do at least a red channel animation.
