Composite picture: Video :

Retrograde Saturn composite picture taken by Ugur Ikizler looks really interesting, not only for Saturn coming to the stationary point very close to Porrima but also for the swirling set of Titan images as it revolved every 16 days. If only the weather been more cooperative and not cause the gaps in the imagery...

Summer triangle picture of Jerry Lodriguss looks like a set of gems in the sky, I am sure Ann will like the colourful result.

I find it absolutely lovely!

Please note the small Coathanger asterism in the dustlane, though not in the very darkest part of it. Teh coathanger is close to the center of the picture.
