I am just starting to get a handle on RGB planetary imaging. I took imagery of Saturn in the early morning of the 8th and processed it that afternoon/evening. It took quite a bit of adjusting to get the colors accurate.

North is up in this image. Just visible toward the top are the remains of an atmospheric storm that has been visible in Saturn’s atmosphere since the end of March. Toward the bottom, some of the disk of Saturn is visible through the Cassini division. Earth’s motion around the Sun will put Saturn at opposition on the 27th of this month.
